Plant Protoplasts as Genetic Systems

  • Chapter
Genetic Manipulations with Plant Material

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 3))

Abstract

Work on isolated plant protoplasts has progressed very rapidly since the first international meeting held on higher plant protoplasts in Versailles in 19721. Indeed, whereas earlier symposia on protoplasts in general included short sections on those from higher plants2 there are probably now more workers studying higher plant protoplasts than those from micro organisms. As we shall see there has been a major resurgance of interest during the past few years in higher plant protoplasts as genetic systems. At the Versailles Meeting it was evident that some of the foundations for this had been established. Much effort since then has gone into the fuller development of protoplasts as genetic systems, and I will try in this chapter to assess the extent to which this work has been successful and also try to indicate where difficulties still exist.
