    Notes: Summary The ready availability of isolated plant protoplasts, and the ability of these naked plant cells to fuse together, has greatly stimulated interest in the production of plant somatic hybrids. This new protoplast technology may enable interspecies hybrids to be obtained which are otherwise not possible. Many such interspecies hybrids are required amongst the crop plants, but application of this new technology to these species in presently prevented by our inability to culture cells of many of these species in vitro, and to regenerate plants reproducibly from cultured tissue.

    Notes: Summary E. coli spheroplasts can be used to deliver DNA vectors into plant protoplasts. The use of fluorescent dyes showed that 25–100% of the protoplast population was associated with 1–9 spheroplasts following incubation with several fusogens. Electron microscopy demonstrated spheroplasts attached to protoplasts via a plasma membrane protrusion after high pH/Ca2+ treatment, but PEG-high pH/Ca2+ promoted endocytosis of spheroplasts into a plasma membrane bounded vesicle. Ultrastructural profiles showed that fusion between spheroplasts and protoplasts did not occur. Immunofluorescence studies detectedE. coli antigens associated with tobacco protoplasts, and after fusogen treatment the antigens were dispersed within the peripheral cytoplasm. The elimination of residual contaminatingE. coli cells from protoplasts was achieved by lysozyme and antibiotic treatment, thus allowing DNA vector assessment in axenic culture.

    Notes: Summary Flow cytometry was used to provide a rapid and accurate assessment of electroporation-induced uptake of macromolecules into plant protoplasts. Rice protoplasts were electroporated in the presence of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran (FITC-dextran). After washing, the protoplasts were resuspended in a solution containing propidium iodide which intercalates with DNA, but which is excluded by an intact plasma membrane. Electroporation in the presence of FITC-dextran gave rise to populations of protoplasts that fluoresced green or yellow due to the presence of non-conjugated FITC. Non-viable protoplasts fluoresced red because of their inability to exclude propidium iodide molecules. Flow cytometry was used to resolve and quantify these protoplast populations and thus identify optimal conditions for macromolecule uptake. A direct relationship was observed between FITC-dextran uptake and transient gene expression following plasmid uptake. Thus, simultaneous electroporation of protoplasts with foreign DNA and FITC-dextran followed by fluorescence activated cell sorting may permit partial selection of transformed cells and so reduce the need for a selectable marker.
