Summary Mixtures of protoplasts of two auxotrophic mutants of Physcomitrella patens, one requiring thiamine (aneurine), the other p-aminobenzoic acid, have been subjected to electrofusion. The protoplasts were aligned in an alternating electric field (500 KHz, 20 V RMS/cm) and induced to fuse by a brief DC pulse (800 V/cm, time constant lms). After culture, first on complete medium and then on selective medium, hybrid plants were obtained at a frequency of 3%. One hybrid with a morphology typical of polyploidy was also observed.
