Abstract
The production of doubled haploid lines from anther culture is limited by the relatively low callus/embryoid induction frequency, genotype-dependent response, and poor plant regeneration, a large number of which are albino plants. As a result, this technique has yet to gain wide acceptance by wheat breeders, although it is being used by a few. This chapter will review the progress and advantages offered by liquid culture media in wheat.
