Abstract
Inbred lines production in rye (Secale cereale L.) with the classical breeding procedure is a difficult and time consuming task. With use of in vitro culture techniques for obtaining doubled haploid plants of rye it can be done in a shorter time. In cereals, for the haploid induction the androgenesis (anther culture and isolation microspores) and elimination of chromosomes are widely used. The most important factors influencing the androgenic capacity are: growth of donor plant material, genotype, the initial treatment of spikes and anthers, the stage of microspores development, the medium and culture condition. Rye (Secale cereale L.) is a species in which induction of haploids in vitro anther cultures causes many problems. The most frequent occurring problems are low percentage of regenerated plants and high participation albinotic plants.
