Abstract excerpt
A cytological study of barley microspores during pretreatment of the uninucleate stage to the early culture stage was conducted utilizing six genotypes. Among the three main pretreatments investigated, microspores completed the first mitotic division during 28 d cold pretreatment of spikes, with or without leaf sheath attached, and during 0.3 M mannitol pretreatment of anthers at 25 degrees C. However, during a 4...
