Abstract

AbstractProtoplasts, enzymatically isolated from cell suspension cultures of Daucus carota, have been grown in small Petri‐dishes. After enzyme treatment and washing the protoplasts were plated in agar media. Growth and divisions were viewed through the bottom of the Petri‐dishes with a light microscope. Different osmotic stabilizers were tested with respect to their ability to promote wall formation and growth of the protoplasts. Combinations of sucrose, sorbitol and “Modopeg” gave the best results. Electron micrographs of cultured protoplasts revealed normal as well as abnormal nuclear conditions.
