Let us make an in-depth study of the meaning, history and principles of plant protoplast culture. What is a Protoplast? It is known that each and every plant cell possesses a definite cellulosic cell wall and the protoplast lies within the cell wall except some reproductive cells and the free floating cells in some fruit juices like coconut water. Therefore, [...]
The following points highlight the top fifteen applications of protoplast culture. They are discussed here below: 1. Study of Osmotic Behaviour 2. Study of IAA Action 3. Study of Plasma-lemma 4. Study of Cell Wall Formation 5. Organelle Isolation 6. Study of Morphogenesis 7. Virus Uptake and Replication 8. Study of Photosynthesis from Isolated Protoplast 9. Isolation of Bacteriods from [...]
In the below mentioned article, we will discuss about gene transfer in plant through protoplast. Since the isolated protoplast shows high picnocytic activity, so it can uptake some specific genes or foreign DNA and this property brings some genetic modification in plants. Genetic modification by DNA uptake implies that DNA from one source be taken up and incorporated into the [...]
