Chromosome variation in tissue cultures of wheat [Triticum aestivum]
1989
Shimada, T. (Ishikawa Prefecture Coll. of Agriculture, Nonoichi (Japan))
Variation in chromosome number was observed in cultured tissues of wheat, but range of variation was rather arrow compared with that occurring in tobacco tissue culture. Stability of chromosome number differed with the wheat cultivar and culture method. In some experiments with cultured tissue of cytogenetic variants the chromosomes or chromosome segments responsible for the stability of chromosomes in cultured cells could not be identified. Control of chromosome number, especially reduction of chromosome number, has not been done in cultured tissue of wheat
