This study was conducted to determine the reciprocal effects for anther culture response in Triticum aestivum using a set of 4 x 4 full diallel crosses. Both reciprocal and nuclear genetic effects were highly significant for the anther culture response and useful for selection and breeding purposes. General combining ability effects were predominant for all investigated anther culture traits. Significant differences in specific combining ability effects were detected between the reciprocal crosses. Although significant reciprocal differences in responding anther, callus number and green plant regeneration were recorded in some reciprocal crosses, there were no significant reciprocal differences in albino plant regeneration. The use of one parent as male or female could lead to changes at the production of green plants from the F1 hybrids and screening of inbred lines for response to anther culture, without reciprocal effects, could decrease the utilization of the breeding material.
