Cell layer strips composed of the epidermis and 7-9 layers of subepidermal cells were isolated from the 3-4 terminal internodes of Brassica napus cv Westar plants at the early flowering stage. The strips were precultured for one day in modified liquid MS [1 l] medium and subsequently incubated for 1

โฆ Synopsis
Plant regeneration from stem cortex explants of 13 genotypes of Brassica juncea was assessed. Regeneration was strongly affected by genotype, as up to 50.6 shoots were produced per 100 calli of the most responsive line (Blaze), whereas no shoots were obtained from less responsive lines (Zeml, Vniimk351). Blaze was chosen for B. juncea stem cortex protoplast isolation. After one week of culture, 11-14% of the cells had divided, and about 0.002% produced 1-2 mm colonies within 6 weeks. Up to 7% of these colonies gave rise to shoots upon transfer to plant regeneration medium.
