Summary: The Tissue Culture for Crops Project at Colorado State University has produced NaCl-tolerant tobacco and oat plants from tissue cultures. In each case, the selected tolerance is inheritable and stable in regenerated plant progeny. In addition, the project has produced high-frequency, long term plant regeneration methods from tissue cultures of wheat, rice, pearl millet, proso millet and oats. Up to 127,500 plants can be produced from one starting embryo in six months. Over 4,000 plants have already been regenerated from NaCl-tolerant tissue cultures of rice, wheat and pearl millet
