Summary
Interspecific and homospecific protoplast fusion products (Vicia narbonensis +V. hajastana,V. hajastana+V. hajastana) regenerated cell walls and divided when culturedin vitro for a period of 7 days. While most organelles appeared typical of actively growing plant cells, chloroplasts exhibited structural changes which were interpreted as dedifferentiation.
