摘要

To select adequate wheat germplasms for genetic transformation, tissue culture efficiency of 21 different wheat lines (Einkorn, Emmer, Durum wheat, etc.) were compared, along with two different explants, namely, immature embryo and mature embryo. The results showed that the average differentiation rate and regeneration rate of immature embryo calli (46.5 and 20.82 %) were better than those for mature embryo calli (14.03 and 4.37 %). The best genotypes for immature embryo callus culture were 'Ningchun 16' and 'Ei 15', 'Xiaoyan 22', followed by 'Durum 332' and 'Tr 256'. The best genotypes for mature embryo callus culture were 'Ying 4286', 'Yunyin 01', and 'Xiaoyan 22'. To analyze how physiological and biochemical settings influence the totipotency of calli, different physiological and biochemical indices were analyzed. Differences between immature embryo callus and mature embryo callus were significant, as well as differences of most indices among different wheat types. The interaction effects between explant types and genotypes were also significant. Correlation analysis results showed that the total phenol and soluble sugar contents were significantly correlated with callus differentiation and regeneration rates.
