Factors influencing reliable shoot regeneration from leaf explants of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) were examined. Addition of AgNO3 to callus induction medium was significantly effective for shoot regeneration in all three genotypes initially tested. When 48 genotypes subsequently were surveyed, a large variation of shoot regenerability was observed, ranging from 100 to 0% in frequency of bud formation and from 7.5 to 0 in the number of buds per explant. A significant correlation (r=0.84) was observed between the frequency of bud formation and the number of buds per explant. The shoot regenerability from leaf explants was not related to that from cotyledonary explants (r=0.28). Histological observations showed that an organized structure developed from calluses produced at vascular bundle tissues after 7 days of culture on callus induction medium, and they developed shoot apical meristems one week after transfer onto shoot induction medium. Regenerated plantlets were obtained 2 months after the initiation of culture and they normally flowered and set seeds. No alterations of morphology or DNA contents were observed in regenerated plants and their S1 progenies.
