Summary
Arabidopsis thaliana protoplasts, isolated from a cell suspension, regenerated cell walls and then exhibited sustained cell divisions. Within 10 days after isolation as many as 40% of the protoplast-derived cells divided. Protoplast-derived calli exhibited a wide range of developmental responses, including apparent embryogenesis. The cell suspension has been cryopreserved.
