Abstract:

Effects of bud length (2-3 and 4-5 mm) and incubation time (4, 8 and 12 days) at 30°C on microspore embryogenesis were evaluated on winter rapeseed cv. Amica. Furthermore, the effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) and effects of different concentrations and factorial combination of benzyladenine (BA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were studied as two individual trials on embryo regeneration of rapeseed microspore. Microspore embryogenesis was affected significantly by bud length and heat shock incubation time. The highest level of embryogenesis was obtained from 2-3 mm bud length for 12 days of incubation at 30°C. The highest percentage of direct regeneration of embryos was observed in embryos with 4-6 mm length using 0.2 mg/l BA + IAA 0.0 mg/l. Also, the highest percentage of direct regeneration was related to embryos 4-6 mm in length cultured on medium supplemented with GA3 0.05 mg/l. Our results revealed that embryogenesis and plant regeneration of rapeseed could be improved by choosing proper bud length as well as appropriate incubation treatment and using different phytohormone levels.
