Direct cell to cell transfer of organelles by microinjection

  • Published:
Plant Cell Reports Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A new technique for transfer of organelles to plant cells is presented. The organelles are removed from the donor protoplast by micromanipulation and microinjected directly into the acceptor cells. First results obtained by this technique for transfer of chloroplasts and fluorescently labelled mitochondria are presented.
