An efficient and largely genotype-independent transformation method forBrassica napusandBrassica oleraceawas established based onneoorbaras selectable marker genes. Hypocotyl explants ofBrassica napusandBrassica oleraceacultivars were infected withAgrobacteriumstrains containing chimericneoandbargenes. The use of AgNO3was a prerequisite for efficient shoot regeneration under selective conditions. Vitrification was avoided by decreasing the water potential of the medium, by decreasing the relative humidity in the tissue culture vessel, and by lowering the cytokinin concentration. In this way, rooted transformed shoots were obtained with a 30% efficiency in 9 to 12 weeks. Southern blottings and genetic analysis of S1-progeny showed that the transformants contained on average between one and three copies of the chimeric genes. A wide range of expression levels of the chimeric genes was observed among independent transformants. Up to 25% of the transformants showed no detectable phosphinotricin acetyltransferase or neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme activities although Southern blottings demonstrated that these plants were indeed transformed.
