| Abstract: | Protoplasts of several wildLinum species were isolated enzymatically from roots, hypocotyls and cotyledons of seedlings, and also from theirin vitro grown shoots and cell suspension cultures. When cultured all these protoplasts divided to produce callus but only good plant regeneration capability was evident in the case ofLinum lewissii and to a much lesser extent forL. strictum. Only rhizogenesis was observed withL. alpinum, L. narbonense, L. grandiflorum andL. altaicum. The high plant regeneration capacity ofL. lewissii from protoplast -derived tissues ofin vitro shoots and cell suspension cultures makes this species an attractive experimental system for somatic genetic manipulation.Abbreviations BAP benzylaminopurine - NAA  -naphthaleneacetic acid - CPW cell and protoplast wash solution - gFW gram fresh weightOn leave from Department of Crop Sciences University of Alexandria Egypt |
