The effect of genotype on the productivity of in vitro microspore culture of wheat (Triticum aestivum) was studied. Wheat cultivars and hybrids bred in Kazakhstan and used in the programs on breeding new high-productivity and disease-resistant cultivars and forms of plants were tested. The genotypes that are responsive to androgenesis have been found among the cultivars tested: cultivars Kazakhstanskaya 4, Kazakhstanskaya 5, and hybrids obtained from crosses with the participation of these cultivars (K-6, B-5, and B-10). Such genotypes are recommended to be used as model objects in the studies on androgenesis and plant biotechnology. Based on the use of haploid technology, wheat dihaploid lines were created that are currently tested by breeders.
