Abstract
Protoplast fusion of Nicotiana tabacum (B6S3) crown gall cells and Atropa belladonna leaf mesophyll cells was carried out. Hybrids were selected for their capacity to grow on hormone-free media and to green in light. Shoots incapable of rhizogenesis were regenerated on the same media and grafted onto normal plants of different species. 57 hybrid cell lines differing in their genetic constitution were produced. Analysis of hybrid lines involved the determination of the lysopine dehydrogenase (LpDH) activity and the molecular forms of esterase and amylase, a restriction analysis of chloroplast DNA and a cytogenetic study.
