| Abstract: | A procedure based on a combined cellulase-Pectolyase Y-23 enzyme digestion and metrizamide-sorbitol gradient purification protocol was developed for isolating mesophyll protoplasts from mature leaves of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.). Based on chlorophyll content, this procedure results in a 10 to 15% protoplast yield from fully expanded mature leaves and a 20 to 30% yield from young (expanding) leaves within 3 hours. Isolated protoplasts displayed high rates of HCO3−-dependent photosynthesis; greater than 75 micromoles O2 evolved per milligram chlorophyll per hour at 25°C. This photosynthetic rate is comparable to that of mesophyll cells isolated mechanically from the same leaves. |
