The efficiency of inducing spring barley haploids depending on the method of haploid production and on the genotype of the initial diploids

The comparative assessment of the combining application of bulbosum technique and anther culture in vitro for spring barley haploid production has been presented. It has been shown that the yield of haploids depended on genotype of initial material and genotype and method interaction. The advantages of the use of these two techniques complemented each other in barley breeding program are discussed.
