    Notes: Abstract The use of interesting characteristics from wild Helianthus species in sunflower breeding is limited by poor crossability or sterility of interspecific hybrids. To overcome this barrier, mesophyll protoplasts of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum-resistant clones of Helianthus maximiliani, H. giganteus and H. nuttallii were fused with hypocotyl protoplasts of H. annuus in the presence of polyethyleneglycol and dimethylsulfoxide. Fusion products were embedded in agarose and subjected to a regeneration protocol developed for sunflower protoplasts. Organogenic calli were transferred onto solid medium and emerging shoots were elongated in the absence of plant growth regulators. Rooting of shoots was induced by a 1-naphthaleneacetic acid treatment and putative hybrid plants from fusions between H. annuus + H. maximiliani and H. annuus + H. giganteus were transferred into the greenhouse. All of them exhibited a hybrid phenotype with a high percentage of rhizome producing plants. Their hybrid origin was confirmed by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. Plants flowered after 3–4 months and set seeds, of which 70–80% germinated.

    Notes: Abstract Interspecific hybridisation in the genus Helianthus via somatic cell fusion is thought to play an important role in future sunflower breeding programs. The establishment of this technique requires, however, the development of single-cell-regeneration protocols. For this purpose, we applied a regeneration protocol recently developed for Helianthus annuus L. to mesophyll protoplasts of two wild sunflowers (H. nuttallii T&G, H. giganteus L). Protoplasts of both species were embedded in agarose droplets and covered by liquid mKM medium. After 4–5 weeks, callus was transferred onto solid differentiation medium yielding plating efficencies of 1.5% (H. nuttallii) and 2.5% (H. giganteus). Emerging shoots were elongated on hormone-free medium, and root formation was induced by an NAA treatment. Regenerated plants were transferred to the greenhouse where they grew up to a height of 2 m and flowered after 3 months. Seeds were harvested from regenerated plants of both species.

    Notes: Summary Two dimensional gel electrophoresis of total cell protein extracts from not expanded, and primary leaves, petioles, and roots ofVicia faba resulted in four actin isoforms at 43 kDa with pI values from 5.9 to 6.05. In contrast to root extracts, in all leaf extracts an additional immunoreactive polypeptide with a molecular mass of 51 kDa and pI 5.75 was detected. This polypeptide was present in high amounts in protein extracts of purified chloroplasts, whereas no actin isoform at 43 kDa could be demonstrated. Compared to the tissue extracts, two actin isoforms at 43 kDa with pI values of 5.9 and 6.0 were enriched, when purified plasma membranes and the membranous fraction of vacuoles were analysed. In contrast, the soluble protein fraction of the plasma membrane preparation contained only two isoactins with pI values of 5.95 and 6.05 and a molecular mass of 43 kDa. These results indicate, that the four actin isoforms at 43 kDa detected in all examined tissues ofV. faba fulfill different functions at specific intracellular compartments, for example, the anchorage of actin microfilaments to membranes.
