Response of flax genotypes to doubled haploid production
1999
Chen, Y. | Kenaschuk, E. | Dribnenki, P.
Forty-four flax genotypes with a diverse genetic background were evaluated for anther culture response using a standard anther culture protocol in order to determine the feasibility to initiate a routine haploid production system in applied breeding programs. A strong genotype effect on callus induction and shoot regeneration in anther culture was found in this study. A number of genotypes, including two low cadmium content lines 96-11785 and 96-11826, a high oil content line 96-22109 and a high linolenic acid content line M 4919 were identified as highly responsive. The impact of the findings in this study on flax breeding was discussed.
