Abstract
Cultured plant cells such as Coffea arabica L. cells, accumulate low concentration of secondary metabolites. One way to obtain high-producing plant cell cultures is to prepare single cell clones by using protoplast systems. Identification of limiting factors should facilitate the development of an isolation procedure that can generate adequate yields of intact and viable protoplasts Coffea arabica L. suspension cells. The most suitable conditions for protoplasting were as follows: 6 g of fresh tissue were plasmolysed in 100 ml of K 3 salts (Nagy & Maliga 1976) containing 0.5 M sucrose for 1 h at 24°C. Then, 1 g of preplasmolysed cells were incubated in 10 ml of cellulase R10 (1%), macerozyme R10 (0.8%) and driselase (0.5%) in preplasmolysis medium. The protoplasts were collected and purified after 15 h of lytic reaction in the dark, at 28°C. More than 75% and 95% of the cells were converted into protoplasts when 5 and 8 day-old suspensions respectively were used for the release step. A number of viable protoplasts ranging from 3.5×106 to 4.6×106 P g-1 fresh weight was obtained corresponding to an increase by a factor 10 to 15 of the protoplast yield obtained by Acuna & De Pena (1991).
