Protoplast isolation is a first and important step for establishing a new plant with desired traits through protoplast fusion technology. This experiments were conducted to evaluate various concentration of enzymes and incubation time on protoplast yield and viability in two vetiver ecotypes, Kamphaeng Phet 2 (Vetiveria zizanioides Nash) and Prachuap Khiri Khan (V. nemoralis A.Camus). The results revealed that protoplast yields were significantly affected by different enzyme treatments. The highest protoplast yield (6.12x105 protoplasts/ml) and high viability (98.61%) in Kamphaeng Phet 2 was obtained through the process of cell wall digestion when treated with enzyme solution containing 0.5% (w/v) cellulase onozuka R-10 and 0.5% (w/v) macerozyme R-10 in combination. While, the optimal enzyme solution for protoplast isolation from leaves of Prachuap Khiri Khan was the combination of 1.0% (w/v) cellulase onozuka R-10 and 0.4% (w/v) macerozyme R-10, resulting in the highest yield (6.80x105 protoplasts/ml) and viability (96.56%) of protoplasts. Meanwhile, incubation time of 24 h with the optimal enzyme solution resulted in the highest protoplast yields of both ecotypes. Our findings have the potential to generate an efficient protocol to isolate the protoplast from leaves of vetiver which can be used for further research studies in protoplast culture and fusion for vetiver improvement.

<p>Protoplast<br />fusion or somatic hybridization technology is an alternative<br />technology for production hybrids of plants that are difficult<br />to be produced by conventional methods due to their sexual<br />incompatibility. An experiment was conducted to develop<br />techniques for isolation, purification, and culture of rice<br />protoplasts of cultivar IR64 and a wild rice species (Oryza<br />officinalis). Optimization of protoplast isolation and purification<br />methods from both rice genotypes were successfully<br />done. The highest protoplast density was obtained by<br />digesting embryonic callus or stems of young seedling in an<br />enzyme solution containing of 2% cellulose, 0.1% pectolyase,<br />0.5% macerozyme, 0.5% driselase, 5 mM ES, and 13% mannitol<br />in CPW solution. The protoplast digestion was done for<br />three hours by soaking in the enzyme solution followed by<br />shaking at 50 rpm under a room temperature. Purification of<br />the protoplasts were done by separating them from plant<br />debris using a 25% sucrose solution. Protoplast regeneration<br />was not successful using although different media compositions<br />and conditions. Growth process from cell division to<br />cell aggregate was only successful on IR64 protoplast culture<br />on a medium that contained AgNO3.</p>

This experiment was carried out to select resistant cultivar to CMV in cucumber using Elisa-test and protoplast isolation method. Twenty domestic cultivars or lines and 8 European cultivars were ested for resistance by Elisa test. Among the domestic cultivars, DADAKI group was found to be susceptible and CHEONGJANG group resistant. Among all the cultivars and lines tested, a European cultivar, DALIBOR and Janghyungheukjinju Korean line were found to be highly resistant. When comparing for the protoplast yield depending upon the positions of seedlings (cotyledon, young leaf and hypocotyl), the highest protoplast yield could be obtained from cotyledons in macerozyme 0.5% + cellulose 2.0%. Protoplast yields in susceptible cultivars were higher than those from resistant cultivars. Differences in cell wall thickness between susceptible and resistant cultivars were observed.

Protoplasts were isolated from the lamina of greenhouse grown Nepenthes ampullaria and the hybrid N. ‘Rokko’ Exotica in order to develop a protocol for protoplast isolation suitable for wild species of Nepenthes. Various molarities utilizing mannitol or sorbitol and different enzyme mixtures and concentrations as well as incubation times were evaluated to maximize protoplast yield and viability.  The most effective treatment, a 4 hrs incubation at 40 rpm and 25°C in a solution consisting of 0.5 M sorbitol, 5% cellulase ‘Onozuka’ R-10, 0.5% macerozyme R-10, and 0.3% pectolyase Y-23, generated 4.35 × 106 protoplasts/ gfw of which 62.1% were viable.  Culture was attempted in respect of  regeneration of the cell wall, however, no cell division was observed.

Protoplasts were produced from a soybean cell culture by enzymatic removal of the cell wall. The protoplasts were fixed after various periods of culture. There was a large amount of protoplast fusion during formation. The nuclear behaviour during division was observed. Nuclear fusion prior to nuclear division was common. Almost complete synchronization of multinucleates was found. Various abnormalities were present in nuclear and cellular division which could have led to aneuploid production.

The high affinity for phosphate influx by pea root cells was not significantly altered by osmotic shock, plasmolysis, or the preparation of free protoplasts. The Km of normal roots was 7.74 ± 2.14 μM. The Vmax for phosphate uptake was reduced to 64% by osmotic shock and to 38 and 23% by plasmolysis and protoplast isolation, respectively. Efflux analysis indicated that there was a concentration increase for phosphate in the root free space over that of the bathing solution. This apparent binding does not appear to be involved in the uptake affinity of phosphate.
