Enhanced rooting and regeneration of canola (Brassica napus L.) cultivars after a brief period (shock) on growth regulator-free Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium

The comparative organogenesis of Brassica napus L cultivars Cyclone, Star and Westar was studied. The cotyledonary explants gave a higher response to all the combinations of 0.5 mg/L 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and benzylamino purine (BAP; 0.5, 1.0,1.5 and 2.0 mg/L) used for optimizing the conditions for callus induction. The best mean weight and mean length of callus was obtained at 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 1.5...
