Abstract: | Fertile rooted plantlets were recovered from leaf mesophyll protoplasts of Capsella bursa-pastoris. Protoplasts cultured over a feeder layer of Brassica napus cells produced 221 colonies, 7 of which regenerated multiple plantlets. The nuclear DNA content of most regenerates varied
from 0.89 to 1.0 pg/nucleus, close to the value for seed-grown C. bursa-pastoris (0.94±0.03 pg/nucleus). Two regenerants had a tetraploid DNA content (1.8– 2.0 pg). Plants with a DNA content close to Capsella produced seeds, both in vitro and in soil. Intertribal somatic hybrids were obtained by polyethylene glycol-mediated fusion
of untreated C. bursa-pastoris protoplasts with iodoacetate-treated protoplasts of rapid-cycling B. oleracea. Plants were confirmed as somatic hybrids by isozyme and RAPD analysis. The nuclear DNA content of the hybrids ranged from
3.2 to 6.4 pg, higher than the sum of the parental genomes. One of two hybrids tested was resistant to Alternaria brassicicola, like the Capsella fusion partner. Hybrids rooted easily and produced sterile flowers when transplanted to soil.
