Dear Jennifer, Research devoted to genetics of callus formation and plant regeneration of Raphanus sativus is in Sankt-Petersburg University (Russia), Faculty of Biology.I have not address now but I know, that this group made a lot of experiments with this plants.
Genotype response, inheritance of regenerebility etc. Try to find this information.
I think that this contact will be useful for you.
