Title	An improved medium for in vitro grain development from detached wheat spikelets
Journal	Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture
Year	1995
Volume	42
Pages	227-231
Author	Sharma K Singh B Chauhan R
Abstract	Wheat spikelets detached from the spike at anthesis were cultured on solidified media and successfully produced mature grains These grains resembled normal grains and contained well-developed, embryos Lower concentrations of glutamine favored dry weight increase in developing grains Such grains were indistinguishable from grains from greenhouse-grown plants in germination on moist blotting sheets The technique of individual spikelet culture can be used to study physiology and development of wheat grains and kernels and to study host-pathogen interactions in wheat floret diseases such as Karnal bunt.
