Abstract:

Tissue culture of wheat is the important basis and guarantee for using genetic engineering to improve wheat cultivars. Wheat immature embryo has been regarded as a high potential explants for plant regeneration and genetic transformation. The method of tissue culture of wheat immature embryo is regarded as the most effective way of training by most experts. The paper reviews the current research situation and advance of tissue culture of wheat immature embryo and emphatically introduces the effects of variety，embryo age，medium，external source hormone，pre-treatment，inoculation methods on tissue culture of wheat embryo in vitro．Efficient systems of the wheat immature embryo culture and transformation will remarkably promote wheat genetic engineering improvement and functional genomics study.
