Summary
Mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from axenic shoot cultures ofSolanum melongena by the one-step enzymatic method. Of the different media employed for the culture of protoplasts, a medium modified fromKao andMichayluk (1975) supported sustained mitotic cycles most effectively. Organogenesis from protoplast-derived callus was achieved on transfer toMurashige andSkoog'S (1962) medium supplemented with an appropriate auxin and a cytokinin.
