Abstract
Plant viruses use numerous host factors for efficient replication of the viral genome. Protoplasts, plant cells from which cell walls are removed, are the useful system to analyze the virus translation and replication in vivo. Here, we report a protocol for preparation of protoplasts from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves and transfection of plasmids to the protoplasts. Protoplasts isolated from the loss-of-function mutant of viral host factor(s) would be helpful to analyze the function of host factors in virus infection cycles.
