Abstract
Porphyra linearis is a gastronomically acceptable alga (1) but unlike the commercially important species, P. tenera and P. yezoensis it does not produce neutral spores (monospcres) (2). Our work shows how this disadvantage can be overcome by regeneration of vegetative cells from protoplasts.
