Cells of haploid barley embryos (Hordeum vulgare L. 'Bruce', 'Perth', and 'Klages') and callus cells originating from embryos were cytophotometrically examined to determine the ploidy level. Specific embryo tissues regularly exhibited predictable ploidies and smaller embryos had a higher percentage of haploid cells than larger embryos of the same age. The predominantly haploid cells of the scutellar epidermis of the embryo initiated callus which generally, at least initially, was haploid. Monitoring of the ploidy evolution of these haploid calli showed that over a 6-month period each line exhibited its own unique rate of polyploidization, although lines of the same cultivar showed similar trends. Accumulation of cells at the diploid level was often a characteristic of these cultures.

Six cultivars of barley (‘Akka’, ‘Bruce’, ‘Klages’, ‘Leger’, ‘Perth’, and ‘York’) were compared for their ability to produce haploid embryos competent to produce embryogenic haploid callus. The capacity to generate such callus from scutellar epidermal cells is different among these cultivars and appears to be correlated with the developmental state–age of the embryo and associated with a rapid growth period. Histological examination of 12-, 14-, and 16-day-old embryos confirmed the meristematic nature of the callus-initiating cells and produced results which correspond well with results obtained from cultures of other similar embryos. Variability among cultivars in embryo development, root initiation from callus, and primary and secondary shoot regeneration was also identified.
