Abstract
The reasons for the inability of recalcitrant mesophyll protoplasts to divide and re‐enter the cell cycle are unknown. Changes in protein profile, indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA)‐oxidase and peroxidase activities, and isoenzymes were compared in protoplasts of recalcitrant grapcvine (Vitis vinifera) L. cv. Sultanina) and regenerating tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) L. cv. Xanthi). Using [35S]‐methionine. SDS‐PAGE and two‐dimensional separation of proteins, differences in protein profile during protoplast culture were assessed. The changes in the de novo synthesized proteins were both qualitative and quantitative between the two species. The number of proteins which changed was double in tobacco compared to grapevine protoplasts. Peroxidase and IAA‐oxidase activities increased significantly in tobacco protoplasts during culture whereas in grapevine they remained low. In tobacco protoplasts. 3 and 7 basic and acidic peroxidases, respectively, were induced during protoplast culture. which were not detected in the intact leaf, whereas in grapevine no new peroxidases were induced during protoplast culture.
