Double haploid (DH) genotypes of canola (Brassica napus L.) have a high level of genetic uniformity but have not been previously tested for genetic transformation. Transgenic plants from three of four DH genotypes derived from cv. Westar were obtained by inoculation of either hypocotyl segments or root explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. For hypocotyl transformation, A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 containing a binary plasmid with the neomycin phosphotransferase gene (nptII) and a CaMV 35S-peroxidase gene cassette was co-cultivated with hypocotyl segments taken from the 5–6-day-old seedlings. Transformation frequencies for hypocotyl explants of two DH genotypes were 0.3–3%. Direct evidence for genetic transformation of hypocotyl explants was obtained through molecular hybridisation analysis. Using this protocol, mature transformed plants were obtained within 4–6 months of co-cultivation. A method of root transformation was successfully modified for one DH genotype of canola and transgenic plants were obtained at a frequency of 2%. Using this protocol, a peroxidase gene promoter–GUS fusion construct was introduced into a DH genotype. Tissue specific GUS expression driven by the peroxidase gene promoter in transgenic plants was analysed by GUS staining. Transformation systems for double haploid canola lines will permit the assessment of introduced genes for their effect on agronomic and physiological traits.

An improved protocol for Brassica protoplast culture and plant regeneration was developed. Isolated protoplasts from four-weeks-old in vitro shoot tip culture of Brassica oleracea var. botrytis cv. Siria F1 and Brassica napus doubled haploid of breeding line OP-1 were cultured at a density of 9.8&ndash;11.2 &times; 10<sup>4 </sup>protoplasts/ml in darkness at 25&deg;C in a modified medium containing 2% glucose, 0.25 mg/l 2,4-D, 1 mg/l BAP and 1 mg/l NAA. The first divisions of protoplasts were observed on the third day of culture in B. oleracea and on the fourth day in B. napus. The protoplast cultures were diluted with low osmotic medium on 7<sup>th</sup> and 11<sup>th</sup> day. The frequency of dividing cells was about 80% in B. oleracea and 50% in B. napus. After one month, the microcalli of approximately 0.5&ndash;1 mm in size were transferred into an induction medium with various combinations of growth regulators. Minimum duration of enzyme treatment time and extended dark period in the initial phase of culture increased the survival rate of protoplasts. Organogenesis started when the calli enlarged in size on an induction medium (1 mg/l NAA, 0.02 mg/l GA<sub>3</sub>, 1 mg/l 2iP) with 2% sucrose and 0.8% agar. Regeneration frequency of calli was found to be 69&ndash;75% in B. oleracea and 2&ndash;3% in B. napus. Well-developed shoots were transferred for rooting to a half-strength MS medium without growth regulators. More than 100 B. oleracea regenerants were transferred into soil, and they produced normal heads and set seeds. This very simple procedure is efficient and suitable mainly for B. oleracea var. botrytis and represents a background for fusion experiments. &nbsp;
