Abstract
Anthers were cultured from eight tetraploid and two hexaploid wheat sp ecies. The study of about 1500 anthers per genotype showed significant differences in embryo formation of tetraploid and hexaploid wheats. A high genetic variability for embryo production was identified through ten species used in the experiment. No embryoids were produced from f our of them. Three green and two albino plantlets were obtained in one of the tetraploid species (Triticum dicoccoides noir) which is consid ered as the best studied genotype.
