Abstract
In recent years particle bombardment has become the most used method for ge ne transfer to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Transformation efficiency depen ds greatly on the ability of the target material to regenerate into green p lants. In this work we improved the regeneration efficiency of polyembryoge nic cultures of barley (cv. Kymppi) by optimizing the nitrogen and copper c oncentrations in the media.
