Abstract— In order to characterize
the occurrence of albino plantlets
during the androgenetic process in barley (Hordeum vulgare
L.), chlorophyllous content of microspore derived structures were
analyzed in various cultivar. The dynamics of quantities of a and b
chlorophylls and their relations within etiolated and androgenic plants
of the contrasting cultivars of Igri and Cork have been compared. Research on chlorophyll content
dynamics showed that the androgenic
plants of cv. Igri accumulated a higher content of chlorophyll compared
to the regenerants of cv. Cork. This deficiency of chlorophyll in
regenerants may be directly related to a high number of albinos in the
anther culture of cv. Cork
Key
words:
