The invention discloses a cultivation method for barley microspores. The cultivation method comprises the following steps of selecting young spikes, performing pretreatment, taking florets on the young spikes, performing disinfection, washing the florets with sterile water, performing inoculation to an extracting solution, and performing treatment for 1-2 d at 1-10 DEG C; performing rotary cuttingon the florets after inoculation, performing filtering and centrifugation, and collecting microspores; putting the collected microspores in the extracting solution for 1-3 d in the dark at 24-26 DEGC, and purifying the microspores with maltose; and washing the purified microspores with an induction medium, performing suspension, regulating the density of the microspores, performing inoculation to a culture dish, performing sealing, and performing cultivation for 15-24 d in the dark at 24-26 DEG C. In the cultivation method, by performing low temperature treatment on the florets in vitro, thecallus yield and the seedling formation amount in cultivation of the barley microspores are increased, the regeneration capacity is greatly improved, the problem of less amount of a donor material issolved, the operation is simple and feasible, and the cost is saved.
