The department of tissue culture conducts the following routine tasks:

Production of double haploid lines
  • Barley (Anther culture, Microspore culture)
    • Rye (Anther culture)Wheat (Anther culture, Microspore culture, Wheat-Maize crossing)Triticale (Microspore culture)
  • Rapeseed (Microspore culture)

Embryo-Rescue (in vitro cultivation of the embryo in the grain)

  • Rye, Triticale, Barley, Wheat, wide-crossings

Flow cytometry (for analysis of ploidity-level)

  • Rape seed, Oil radish, Mustard
  • Potatoes
  • Wheat
  • Fodder grasses
