Inflorescence explants of two winter wheat cultivars, Triticum durum cv. Kızıltan-91 and T. aestivum cv. Bezostaja-01, were used to evaluate the effects of vernalization period of donor plants, callus age and medium composition on regeneration capacity. Donor plants were grown for 7 d and they were exposed to 4 °C for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 weeks. The maximum inflorescence formation was observed as 79 % at 4 weeks and 73 % at 5 weeks of vernalization period for Kızıltan-91 and Bezostaja-01, respectively. Among 6 different callus induction and regeneration mediums, I₁-R₁ and I₃-R₃ have to be the best responding mediums for Kızıltan-91 and Bezostaja-01, respectively. In Kızıltan-91, calli induced from donor plants, vernalized for 3 weeks, showed a significantly lower regeneration capacity than counterparts vernalized for 4 and 5 weeks. The highest regeneration capacity of 69 % was obtained from 6-week-old calli produced from 4 weeks vernalized Kızıltan-91 donor plants. In contrast to Kızıltan-91 cultures, the effects of vernalization period and callus age on regeneration capacity were not significant in Bezostaja-01 cultures. The maximum numbers of tillers were obtained from 6-and 15-week-old calli for Bezostaja-01 and Kızıltan-91, respectively. In contrast to vernalization period of donor plants, callus age had no effect on seed number.
