    Notes: Abstract Over two hundred plants were regenerated from shoot-culture derived proto-plasts of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Majestic). Some had grossly aberrant phenotypes but the majority were similar to, or indistinguishable from normal control Majestic. Cytological examination showed that on average, 57% of the regenerants had the normal chromosome number (2n=4x=48). The remainder were aneuploids and fell into two classes in approximately equal numbers. The first class was limited at about the euploid level (ie, 2n=44−49). The second class contained plants with higher chromosome numbers ranging from 2n=73 to the octaploid level (2n=8x=96). The overall results represent an improvement over our earlier studies on chromosome variation in protoplast-derived potato plants. In addition, three cases of structural chromosome variation were observed.

    Notes: Summary Turnip protoplasts infected with cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) have been used to examine the kinetics of CaMV DNA synthesis, and the different classes of CaMV DNA found in vivo partially characterised. Differential extraction techniques for DNA from infected protoplasts has identified several distinct classes of viral DNA. The same approach applied to virus preparations revealed that while the majority of virion DNA was stably encapsidated, some small DNAs and a heterogeneous population 3.8-ca. 5.0 Kb were not. The structural relationship of sa-DNA (3) with the particle is such that only its 5′ RNA moeity is susceptible to nuclease attack. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of total CaMV DNA from infected protoplasts revealed all the DNA species found in virion DNA, those species representing the ‘free’ DNA class and a further class of molecules, rich in DNA of (−) polarity (24), to which the role of reverse transcription intermediates has been ascribed. ‘Free’ DNA contains 8 Kb supercoiled DNA (Form I DNA), an 8 Kb open circle (Form II), an 8 Kb linear (Form III) and a truncated molecule with an extension of the (−) strand previously observed from infected plants (10). Kinetic experiments show that the accumulation of total CaMV-DNA parallels the accumulation of progeny virions to reach a maximum around 72 h post-inoculation and that there is not a separation of CaMV-DNA synthesis into clearly defined early and late stages.

    Notes: Summary Until recently, temperate fruit trees and woody ornamentals have been regarded as recalcitrant to biotechnological breeding approaches based on protoplasts. This however should no longer be the case, as procedures are now available, not only for the regeneration of complete plants from protoplasts of various tissues of such species, but also for the exploitation of protoplast technology for their genetic manipulation. This paper will examine the recent advances and state of the art in this domain, with particular attention to the use of protoplast technology as a novel tool in the breeding of rosaceous top-fruit tree species and woody ornamentals. Problems and their solutions within the context of regenerating plants from isolated protoplasts of stone (Prunus spp.), pome (Pyrus spp., Malus spp.) and small (Rubus spp.) fruits, and of several shrubby ornamental genotypes (Lonicera spp., Weigela spp., Forsythia spp., Cotoneaster spp.) will be addressed. Interspecific (Prunus spinosa + Prunus cerasifera) and intergeneric (Forsythia spp. + Syringa spp.) somatic hybridization within this group of species, as well as the use of protoplasts for host/pathogen interaction studies (Pyrus/Erwinia amylovora) will also be discussed.

    Notes: Summary In some cereal species that are still recalcitrant to stable transformation and regeneration, transient expression in isolated protoplasts is a useful tool for the study of gene expression and regulation. We have successfully applied these techniques to barley protoplasts derived from developing endosperm, aleurone, leaves and roots in order to characterize functionally cis-acting motives in two gene promoters, corresponding to trypsin inhibitor BTI-CMe and to sucrose synthase Ss1. Gene specificity is maintained in transient expression assays with protoplasts isolated from these different barley tissues and the pattern of expression parallels the mRNA levels observed for the corresponding genes in the same tissues.

    Notes: Summary The phenotypes of seed progeny (R2 generation) of Oryza sativa L. cv. Taipei 309, which carried the neomycin phosphotransferase II (npt II) gene, were compared with those of non-transformed, protoplast-derived plants of the same generation and non-transformed, seed-derived plants under field and glasshouse conditions. Under both conditions the transgenic plants were generally smaller, took longer to flower and had reduced fertility. Significant differences were observed between individuals within the group of transgenic plants. The npt II gene was present in most of the transgenic plants, but NPT II activity was only detected in a minority of individuals.

    Notes: Summary The production of transgenic plants by means of direct gene transfer to protoplasts is now a widely-used technique. The biological mechanisms underlying the transformation are still poorly understood, but many investigations have attempted to shed light on some components of this process. Varying the experimental conditions has in some cases led to better transformation rates, but further improvements of the protocols are possible. Such improvements will require a better understanding of how the alien DNA enters the cells, becomes integrated into the chromosomes and is treated as a part of the plant genome. Irradiation with sublethal doses of X-rays or UV-light has been shown to increase the transformation frequency, while certain drugs have been shown to act in a similar manner. The effects of these and other factors are discussed.
