Abstract

In earlier days of plant tissue culture, protoplast fusion provided the only method of introducing or combining genes somewhat beyond the limits of sexual reproduction. Protoplast fusion is now rather overshadowed by plant transformation, a very powerful method that permits transfer into plants of genes from any taxonomic group. In view of the success of gene transfer, is protoplast fusion still of interest and value?
