Abstract
Plant protoplasts are an important starting material for the production of parasexual hybrids from agronomi-cally important plants.1 The present study describes a simple enzymatic method for the isolation of protoplast from two oil-yielding plants of family Compositae:NIGER (Guizotia abyssinica Cass) and SAFFLOWER (Carthamus tinctorius L.). It is proposed to investigate somatic hybridization between safflower and other oil-yielding plants having low percentage of linoleic acid.
