Abstract
- Doubled haploid production from crosses between barley (Hordeum vzilgare L.) and H. bulbosum L. is a well established technique for inducing homezygosity. One problem which occurs using certain barley cultivars is premature seed degeneration In this paper, a post-pollination spray of gibberellic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid that delays the onset of senescence is described The technique improved the number of high quality seeds to more than 75% of the seed set. This improvement should result in increased survival of embryos for culture and subsequent plant regeneration [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
