Abstract: | Summary In order to understand and limit albino plantlet formation during pollen embryogenesis in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Igri), plastid feature was followed during pollen embryogenesis under two anther culture conditions and compared to plastid development in the zygotic embryo. The first condition was characterized by cold pretreatment and maltose in the induction medium. Both embryos and calli were then obtained. During pollen embryo development, up to 30% of plastids had abnormal features. Disruptions mainly affected the plastid size, the feature of plastid envelopes, thylakoid and granum organization, as well as starch accumulation. In pollen calli, superficial cells had meristematic features. Up to 50% of plastids exhibited the above mentioned abnormalities. Internal cells were highly vacuolated with amyloplast-like plastids; envelopes had normal features but no internal membrane was detected. Pollen embryo-derived plantlets had a green-to-albino ratio (G/A) being equal to 1.0, whereas calli-derived embryos only formed albino plantlets. The second condition was characterized by mannitol pretreatment and the presence of both maltose and mannitol in the induction medium. No callus was formed but most of microspore-derived structures developed haploid embryos and then the green plantlets (200 plantlets per 100 responding anthers, G/A=9.4). In this case, plastid development in zygotic and pollen embryos were similar and almost no albino plantlets were formed. |
