Abstract
Within the scope of an in vitro mutation induction program the treatment of a single cell culture with ionizing radiation provides the opportunity to avoid the development of chimeras. Protoplast cultures meet this condition. Dioscorea opposita -Chinese yam- can be propagated by in vitro procedures without any problems and this was the reason to initiate protoplast cultures.
