The comparative research of antipodal cell number and their karyometrical parameters in three two-rowed barley cultivars and their reciprocal F1 hybrids has been performed under different growing conditions. It was shown that the number of antipodes varied in different cultivars and depended on growing conditions. The essential level of antipodal complex functional activity is reached by definite combination of cell quantities and their dimensions. At greenhouse conditions the traits "number of antipodal cells" and "total volumes of nuclei and nucleoli" are inherited maternally.
