    Notes: Abstract A system was established for achieving plant regeneration from mesophyll protoplasts and cotyledon-derived cell suspension cultures of alfalfa, Medicago sativa L. Peeled leaflets or cells from 6-day-old cell suspensions were incubated in an enzyme mixture containing 1% Driselase, 1% Rhozyme, 0.1% Cellulase and 72 gl-1 mannitol at pH 5.8 for 2–16 h to liberate protoplasts. A complex Kao medium supported cell division and colony formation, whereas a high auxin/low cytokinin treatment on Schenk and Hildebrandt medium followed by culture on growth regulator-free Blaydes or Linsmaier and Skoog medium resulted in somatic embryo formation. Of the three varieties tested. Citation, Answer and Regen S, the latter two produced embryos from which plants could be regenerated.

    Notes: Abstract Seventy-six cultivars of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L., M. falcata L. and M. varia Martyn) were tested in vitro for their capacity to produce callus and somatic embryos. A three-step media protocol was used to survey the response of the cotyledons and hypocotyl of each genotype while the epicotyl region was conserved in order to recover highly responding genotypes. The best regeneration response was observed in creepingrooted cultivars which contained a strong genetic contribution of two landrace germplasm sources, defined as M. falcata and Ladak, in their ancestry. The callus and embryogenesis responses showed a high degree of variation both between cultivars and among the plants of many of the 76 cultivars tested. A higher number of plants produced somatic embryos in the high regenerating cultivars compared to the low regenerating cultivars regardless of the media protocol or explant.

    Notes: Abstract A simple particle bombardment device was designed, constructed and shown to be efficient for the delivery of DNA into plant cells. High levels of transient β-glucuronidase expression were observed in alfalfa suspension-cultured cells and embryogenic soybean suspension-cultured cells. Expression of β-glucuronidase in alfalfa suspension-cultured cells was used to optimize the bombardment conditions for the device. Transient gene expression in alfalfa was found to be dependent on the state of the target tissue, the size of particles employed, the helium pressure used to accelerate the particles and the distance travel led by the tungsten particles carrying DNA.

    Notes: Abstract Mesophyll protoplasts were produced from clones of two cultivars of Medicago sativa, ‘Rangelander’ and ‘Regen S’. Protoplasts from the ‘Regen S’ clone generally gave rise to calli while those from the ‘Rangelander’ clone would undergo direct embryogenesis. Effects of plant growth conditions, donor tissue pretreatment and protoplast culture conditions on mesophyll protoplast production and subsequent development patterns were investigated. The major factor determining whether or not mesophyll protoplasts would be produced from either of the clones was the pretreatment in water of shoots excised from the donor plants. Pretreatment in water containing growth regulators did not alter protoplast production or development in the ‘Regen S’ clone. Pretreatment of the ‘Rangelander’ clone shoots with abscisic acid or naphthaleneacetic acid was slightly beneficial to embryo production while pretreatment with benzylaminopurine was detrimental. Altered leaf morphology induced by growth condition changes did not affect mesophyll protoplast production or subsequent development patterns when shoots were pretreated in water. Culture of protoplasts in liquid droplets or solid agar medium increased low density protoplast survival and subsequent embryo production in the ‘Rangelander’ clone.
