It has been proved, that resynthesized plants are distinct from cultivars of winter oilseed rape which are bred and cultivated nowadays, so they would serve as sources of new genetic variability in rapeseed breeding programmes, including cytoplasmic and nuclear male sterility, resistance to diseases, insect or nematode pests and tolerance to cold, salt and drought conditions. The use embyo culture technique in Brassica species were ndeveloped in 1930’ s, but up to now it serves as a effective agent in the development of new germplasm for further Brassica breeding. The use of embryo culture in Brassica napus breeding programmes will be discussed in detail}, number={1}, publisher={Anatolia Bilim Akademisi}
