Abstract
Improving the agronomically important characters (grain yield quality, quantity, disease resistance and tolerance to different abiotic stress conditions) of the main cereal crops is the most important task for the plant breeders. The above mentioned aims can be achieved by using traditional breeding techniques but already now somein vitro methods for haploid induction, mutant selection, somaclonal variation, etc. are well advanced and might also be used for applied aspects (Lörz et al. 1988). These new biotechnological techniques will probably not be competitive with the commercial breeding; rather they will contribute to creating more improved crops in an efficient manner by the combination of traditional technologies with the modern biotechnological methods
