Summary
Bleaching of dihaploid potato shoots by application of the herbicide SAN 6706 did not affect the ability for cell division of subsequently isolated mesophyll protoplasts. The development of green calluses from bleached protoplasts shows that bleaching is reversable. The positive effects of SAN 6706 on cell division activity in protoplasts are discussed and the application of the bleaching method in experiments to select somatic hybrids after protoplast fusion.
