Abstract
When compared to agarose solidified media in small petri dishes, membrane rafts used in conjunction with liquid induction media significantly improved anther culture response in the Australian, malting-quality, spring barley cultivar Clipper. In contrast, the German cultivar Gimpel did not show an increased response on rafts.
