Protoplasts isolated from the aleurone have been used extensively in molecular studies focusing on hormone-mediated regulation of gene expression in barley seed. To extend the use of aleurone protoplasts to other species, we have determined the conditions necessary for the isolation of protoplasts f

โฆ Synopsis
Protoplasts of the indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety, IR54, were transiently transformed with the gusA gene and stably transformed with both the neo and gusA genes. We show that PEG-mediated co-transformation of protoplasts with two genes on separate plasmids coupled with selection on kanamycin is an effective way of transferring foreign gene(s) into the indica rice genome. The efficiency of co-transformation was generally 20-30%, i.e. the frequency of kanamycin-resistant calli having both the neo and gusA active genes. Southern blot analysis using a probe for gusA indicated integration of several copies of the gene, often as head to tail tandem repeats.
