โฆ Synopsis
Auxotrophic mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis were hybridized through protoplast fusion. Spontaneous, UV- and FPA-induced mitotic segregation indicated that after cell fusion, exclusion of the S. cerevisiae nucleus or nuclear fusion followed by preferential loss of S. cerevisiae chromosomes can take place. Some of the hybrids were stable. One of them, expressed mating and sporulation functions of the S. cerevisiae parent. Thus, markers from both parents could be recovered as mitotic and meiotic segregants.

Hypocotyl derived protoplasts of B. juncea cv. RLM-198 were fused with mesophyll protoplasts of B. spinescens using polyethylene glycol to produce interspecific hybrids. Fusion products could be microscopically identified by characteristics of the protoplasts of both parents in the hybrid cells; the
Intergeneric hybridization between Pleurotus ostreatus and Schizophyllum commune was studied using PEG-induced fusion. The fusion of protoplasts from auxotrophic mutant strains resulted in the formation of fusion hybrids in the frequencies of 3.6 to 7.3ร10(-5). Most of these fusion hybrids were mono
