Effect of Sodium Chloride on Establishment of Callus and Organogenesis in Brassica napus L.

F. Chamandoosti

Abstract: In order to produce salt tolerant canola (Brassica napus L.) plants hypocotyl segments of its that were excised from 7 days old-seedlings cultured in MS medium with various concentrations of PGRs (NAA, IBA, 2, 4-D, KN and BA) and sodium chloride. The best media for induction and growth of callus (6 mg L^-1 2, 4-D and 2 mg L^-1 BA), production of adventitious shoots (1 mg L^-1 IBA and 1 mg L^-1 BA) and roots (1 mg L^-1 NAA and 0.5 mg L^-1 KN) were determined. Then explants cultured in these media plus 0-273.53 mM L^-1 sodium chloride. Explants in these media established and in some of concentrations of sodium chloride (68.37-102.56 mM L^-1) produced calli and adventitious shoots and roots better than the same media but free from sodium chloride. This finding suggests that somaclonal variation can yield stable-tolerant canola plants.
