Cybrids in Oilseed Brassica Crops Through Protoplast Fusion

  • Chapter
Legumes and Oilseed Crops I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 10))

Abstract

In higher plants, sexual reproduction generally prevents any exchange of cytoplasmic information between the two parents, and chloroplastic as well as mitochondrial genomes are maternally inherited. However, induced fusion of isolated protoplasts followed by regeneration of entire plants allows the mixing in the same cell of organelles and the screening or selection in resulting individuals of recombined forms of cytoplasmic genetic characteristics. These forms are called cybrids, for cytoplasmic hybrids. The originality of cybrids resides in their possibilities to associate in the regenerated plant, after a more or less stochastic sorting-out process, chloroplasts from one parent with mitochondria from the other, or to create new cytoplasmic genomes resulting from interparental recombinations.
