Anther Culture Derived Doubled Haploids in Oat

  • Chapter

Abstract

In oat (Avena sativa L.) low production rates have limited the use of doubled haploids (DH). Alternative techniques for oat DH production are anther culture and wide hybridization. In this paper, progress in anther culture is summarized, concentrating specially on the work done in MTT Agrifood Research Finland. Up to 30 green plants per 100 isolated anthers have been regenerated from cultivated oat, but common recoveries are much below that. Genotype-dependency is also evident. Oat anther culture can be used to produce DH populations for genetic mapping, as well as material for other genetic research purposes. Application to the practical cultivar breeding may still demand improved DH production efficiency, as well as overcome of the genotypic restrictions.
