In this paper the effect of cold pretreatment on androgenous ability of wheat anthers was investigated. Anthers were isolated from 12 different genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Before isolation, a half of anthers were exposed to a cold pretreatment on 4 +/- 1 deg C for 5-10 days, while the other half of anthers were inoculated onto the Potato-2 induction medium without the cold pretreatment. The results have shown that absence of cold pretreatment had significant effect on androgenous capacity in 5 cultivars, while on callus yield had the effect in 4 from the total of 12 examined wheat genotypes. It can be concluded that the effect of cold pretreatment on androgenous ability of wheat is genotype specific.
