Protoplast Fusion and Somatic Hybridization | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Method of Protoplast Fusion 2. Mechanism of Protoplast Fusion 3. Identification and Selection 4. Verification and Characterisation. Isolated protoplasts are devoid of cell walls which make them easy tools for under­going fusions in vitro. An important factor is that generally there is incompatibility barrier between two protoplasts of different species or genera. [...]

An Overview on Protoplast Fusion and Somatic Hybridization

The below mentioned article provides an overview on Protoplast Fusion and Somatic Hybridization. Plant breeders sometimes face difficulties due to sexual incompatibility. This difficulty can be removed by protoplast fusion. By this method wider crosses are possible. Even crosses between plants showing physical and chemical incompatibilities are possible by protoplast fusion. In 1909 Kunster reported random fusion between mechanically isolated [...]
