Flavonol content of guard cell and mesophyll cell protoplasts isolated from Vicia faba leaves

Guard cells of the lower epidermis of leaflets of Vicia faba L. cv. Weißkernige Hangdown contain several kaempferol 3,7-O-glycosides. This was demonstrated for the first time by the use of isolated, highly purified guard cell protoplasts for flavonol estimation and quantitation. From a total of ca 12 kaempferol glycosides, three were identified by comparative thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography as kaempferol 3-O-glucoside 7-O-rhamnoside (major component), 3-O-rhamnogalactoside 7-O-rhamnoside and 3,7-O-bisglucoside (minor components). On average, the total flavonol content was estimated to be 85 fmol protoplast⁻¹. From comparative investigations including alkaline-induced (green) fluorescence characteristics of flavonols and UV-microscopical studies we suggest that kaempferol glycosides are present in guard cells and epidermal cells in similar quantities, and that these compounds are in the vacuole.
By contrast, mesophyll protoplasts have a low flavonol content (one sixth that of guard cells). In spite of the different total flavonol contents, individual components of each cell-type are the same. However, they show differences in their quantitative distribution.     

Plant transformation by microinjection techniques

Several techniques have been developed for introducing cloned genes into plant cells. Vectorless delivery systems such as PEG-mediated direct DNA uptake (e.g. Pasz-kowski et al. 1984), electroporation (e.g. Shillito et al. 1985), and fusion of protoplasts with liposomes (Deshayes et al. 1985) are routinely used in many experiments (see several chapters of this issue). A wide range of plant species, dicotyledonous as well as monocotyledonous, has been transformed by these vectorless DNA transfer systems. However, the availability of an efficient protoplast regeneration system is a prerequisite for the application of these techniques. For cells with intact cell walls and tissue explants the biological delivery system of virulent Agrobacterium species has been routinely used (for review see Fraley et al. 1986). However, the host range of Agrobacterium restricts the plant species, which can be transformed using this vector system. In addition, all these methods depend on selection systems for recovery of transformants. Therefore a selection system has to be established first for plant species to be transformed. The microinjection technique is a direct physical approach, and therefore host-range independent, for introducing substances under microscopical control into defined cells without damaging them. These two facts differentiate this technique from other physical approaches, such as biolistic transformation and macroinjection (see chapters in this issue). In these other techniques, damaging of cells and random manipulation of cells without optical control cannot be avoided so far. In recent years microinjection technology found its application in plant sciences, whereas this technique has earlier been well established for transformation of animal tissue culture cells (Capecchi 1980) and the production of transgenic animals (Brin-ster et al. 1981, Rusconi and Schaffner 1981). Furthermore, different parameters affecting the DNA transfer via microinjection, such as the nature of microinjected DNA, and cell cycle stage, etc, have been investigated extensively in animal cells (Folger et al. 1982, Wong and Capecchi 1985), while analogous experiments on plant cells are still lacking.     

Electrofusion of Neurospora crassa slime cells

Uptake of exogenous DNA by carrot protoplasts

Summary An erroneous measurement of DNase-resistant adsorption of donor DNA by plant cell protoplasts may result from the use of polycations and metal cations. A DNAase-resistant complex is formed independent of protoplasts as well as during adsorption to either intact or broken protoplasts. Analysis of adsorbed DNA by cesium chloride density-gradient centrifugation showed extensive degradation of donor DNA.

Protoplast transformation of Kluyveromyces marxianus

The dairy yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus is a promising cell factory for producing bioethanol and heterologous proteins, as well as a robust synthetic biology platform host, due to its safe status and beneficial traits, including fast growth and thermotolerance. However, the lack of high-efficiency transformation methods hampers the fundamental research and industrial application of this yeast. Protoplast transformation is one of the most commonly used fungal transformation methods, but it yet remains unexplored in K. marxianus. Here, we established the protoplast transformation method of K. marxianus for the first time. A series of parameters on the transformation efficiency were optimized: cells were collected in the late-log phase and treated with zymolyase for protoplasting; the transformation was performed at 0 °C with carrier DNA, CaCl₂, and PEG; after transformation, protoplasts were recovered in a solid regeneration medium containing 3–4% agar and 0.8 m sorbitol. By using the optimized method, plasmids of 10, 24, and 58 kb were successfully transformed into K. marxianus. The highest efficiency reached 1.8 × 10⁴ transformants per μg DNA, which is 18-fold higher than the lithium acetate method. This protoplast transformation method will promote the genetic engineering of K. marxianus that requires high-efficiency transformation or the introduction of large DNA fragments.     

Highly efficlent plant regeneration from mesophyll protoplasts of Indian field cultivars of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)

Three Indian cultivars ofL. esculentum were assessed for shoot regeneration from protoplast-derived calli. Consistent yields of viable protoplasts (>9.0×10⁶ g f.wt.^-1) were obtained from leaflets of 14 days old cultured shoots. Protoplast viability (88–94%) and planting efficiency (55–70%) were recorded for the three cultivars. Up to 71% of the protoplast-derived tissues regenerated shoots.Abbreviations BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - g f.wt. gram fresh weight - IAA indoleacetic acid - MS Murashige & Skoog (1962) - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - Zea zeatin     

Chromosome variation in protoplast-derived potato plants

Summary Chromosomes have been studied in protoplast-derived potato plants of the tetraploid cultivars Maris Bard and Fortyfold. A high degree of aneuploidy was found amongst the regenerants of both cultivars but the nature of the chromosome variation differed. The Maris Bard regenerants were characterised by high chromosome numbers, a wide range of aneuploidy (46–92) and a low percentage of plants with the normal chromosome number (2n = 48), whereas a much higher proportion of the Fortyfold regenerants had 48 chromosomes and the variants were within a more limited aneuploid range. In both cultivars chromosome variation was found between calluses, within calluses and even within shoot cultures. The origin of the chromosome variation and the differences found between the two cultivars are discussed.We regret to report the death of Emrys Thomas since the initiation of this work     

Effect of simulated and real weightlessness on early regeneration stages of Brassica napus protoplasts

Summary Results from experiments using protoplasts in space, performed on the Biokosmos 9 satellite in 1989 and on the Space Shuttle on the IML-1-mission in 1992 and S/MM-03 in 1996, are presented. This paper focuses on the observation that the regeneration capacity of protoplasts is lower under micro-g conditions than under 1 g conditions. These aspects have been difficult to interpret and raise new questions about the mechanisms behind the observed effects. In an effort to try to find a key element to the poor regeneration capacity, ground-based studies were initiated focusing on the effect of the variable organization and quantity of corticular microtubules (CMTs) as a consequence of short periods of real and simulated weightlessness. The new results demonstrated the capacity of protoplasts to enter division, confirming the findings in space that this was affected by gravity. The percentage of dividing cells significantly decreased as a result of exposure to simulated weightlessness on a 2-D clinostat. Similar observations were made when comparing the wall components, which confirmed that the reconstitution of the cell wall was retarded under both space conditions and simulated weightlessness. The peroxidase activity in protoplasts exposed to microgravity was slightly decreased in both 0 g and 1 g flight samples compared with the ground controls, whereas activity in the protoplasts exposed to simulated weightlessness was similar to activity in the 1 g control. The observation that protoplasts had randomized and more sparse corticular microtubules when exposed to various forms of simulated and real weightlessness on a free-fall machine on the ground could indicate that the low division capacity in 0 g protoplasts was correlated with an abnormal CMT array in these protoplasts. This study has increased our knowledge of the more basic biochemical and cell biological aspects of g effects. This is an important link in preparation for the new space era, when it will be possible to follow the growth of single cells and tissue cultures for generations under microgravity conditions on the new International Space Station, which will be functional on a permanent basis from the year 2003.
