Viability And Development Of Potato Protoplast Culture

  • Chapter
Protoplasts 1983

Part of the book series: EXS 45: Experientia Supplementum ((EXS,volume 45))

Abstract

The culture and regeneration of potato protoplasts are the two crucial steps in the application of protoplast manipulation for crop improvement. Although there have been a few reports that succeeded in recovery of plants from protoplasts in Solanum tuberosum (1–4), sustaining high viability and consistent development of potato protoplast culture still remain elusive. The work described here deals with the development of potato protoplast culture, in relation to this, the changes in viability of protoplasts, cell-wall regeneration and DNA synthesis for sustainment of the first cell division.
