β¦ Synopsis
Mesophyll protoplasts from leaves of aseptically grown shoot tips of Diplotaxis muralis were isolated (6.2-7.1Γ10(5) protoplasts/g fresh weight of tissue) using one step enzyme digestion. The protoplasts (71% viability) underwent divisions (4.2+0.1%) on plating in M8PS2 medium and ultimately formed calli with 0.45+0.03% plating efficiency. Plant regeneration could be achieved both through embryogenesis and organogenesis. The efficiency of plant regeneration through organogenesis was 9 times higher than embryogenesis. Forty eight out of 52 plants regenerated so far from 3 independent experiments were normal with respect to fertility and meiotic chromosomal behavior.

A procedure has been developed for the successful regeneration of plants from mesophyll protoplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana line WS. The protocol is an improved version of that of Damm and Willmitzer (1988).The main changes in original procedure are as follows: (1) A mixture of Cellulase Y-C (0.5%)
Mesophyll protoplasts from in vitro grown plants of a cytoplasmic albino mutant of Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Large Red Cherry were isolated with yields between 0.4 to 4.4 x 106 protoplasts per gram leaf tissue. Success in the culture of these protoplasts was dependent on embedding of the protoplas
