Abstract
Cultured peduncle segments of B. juncea, B. campestris, B. napus, B. n igra and B. carinata produced shoot buds on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with benzyladenine and 1-naphthalene acetic acid. Supple mentation of the media with 30 mu m silver nitrate or silver thiosulfa te enhanced the frequency of shoot regeneration. The regenerated shoot s could be rooted at a frequency of 95% and transferred to soil where 75% survived and set seed.
