Vital and Calcofluor staining ofCosmarium and its protoplasts

Summary Intact cells, protoplasts, primary and secondary walls ofCosmarium species were stained with 13 vital stains and with Calcofluor. The intracellular contents of viable cells and protoplasts were not stained with any of the test dyes although the primary and secondary walls often were stained. Protoplasts disintegrated after short periods in acid stains but did survive for up to 24 hours in several dilute basic dyes. Once the protoplast membrane was damaged, the nuclei and cytoplasm were brightly stained with most dyes, whereas the vacuoles remained unstained. Calcofluor was particularly useful in determining the porous structure and pattern of the primary walls.     

A novel method for monitoring protoplast fusion

Summary Two fluorescent compounds, scopoletin and carboxyfluorescein, have been used to label both tissue culture and leaf mesophyll cells and protoplasts. The compounds localized within the vacuoles of cells in approximately 15 hours. They remained in the vacuole during cell wall digestion, and fluorescence was observable for several hours after protoplast release. A one day pulse of these fluorescent labels had no deleterious effect on the growth of cells or protoplasts. When morphologically indistinguishable protoplasts were labeled and treated with polyethylene glycol, multicolored fluorescent fusion products were observable. These fluorescent labels provide a convenient method for selection of heterokaryon fusion products of whole plant and tissue culture cell protoplasts.     

Estimating viability of plant protoplasts using double and single staining

Summary The utility of numerous dyes for determining the viability of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) aleurone protoplasts was studied. Protoplasts isolated from the barley aleurone layer synthesize and secrete -amylase isozymes in response to treatment with gibberellic acid (GA) and Ca²⁺. These cells also undergo dramatic morphological changes which eventually result in cell death. To monitor the viability of protoplasts during incubation in GA and Ca²⁺, several types of fluorescent and nonfluorescent dyes were tested. Evans blue and methylene blue were selected as nonfluorescent dyes. Living cells exclude Evans blue, but dead cells and cell debris stain blue. Both living and dead cells take up methylene blue, but living cells reduce the dye to its colorless form whereas dead cells and cell debris stain blue. The relatively low extinction coefficient of these dyes sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish blue-stained cells against a background of blue dye. Several types of fluorescent dyes were tested for their ability to differentially stain dead or living cells. Tinopal CBS-X, for example, stains only dead cells, and its high extinction coefficient allows its ultraviolet fluorescence to be recorded even when preparations are simultaneously illuminated with visible light. To double-stain protoplasts, the most effective stain was a combination of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide (PI). By employing a double-exposure method to record the fluorescence from cells stained with both FDA and PI, dead and living cells could be distinguished on the basis of fluorochromasia.     

Interspecies protoplast fusion inLarix: Comparison of electric and chemical methods

Summary Larix was chosen for the study on interspecies protoplast fusion due to its ability to regenerate plants from protoplasts derived from embryogenic cultures.L. laricina line L2 was used in fusion experiments with eitherL. × eurolepis line L6 orL. × leptoeuropaea line L5. A method of unambiguous labeling of parental protoplasts prior to fusion was developed using vital fluorescent dyes. Of a number of dyes tested, only rhodamine B hexyl ester chloride (R6) and 3,3′-dihexylox-carbocyanine iodide (DiOC₆) stained the protoplasts in a consistent and uniform fashion. The fusion of mixed parental protoplasts that were internally labeled was carried out either in the presence of a 20% polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution or in an electric field. The progress of fusion was readily observed, taking only minutes under the experimental conditions. The fusion products could be identified by dual fluorescence several h after the onset of fusion. Heterofusion frequencies of approximately 18% and 6% in the presence of PEG and an electric field, respectively, were attained. Postfusion cultures betweenL. × laricina protoplasts and protoplasts ofL. × leptoeuropaea gave rise to cell colonies and betweenL. laricina andL. × eurolepis, to mature somatic embryos.     

High-yield isolation of protoplasts from microgram amounts of shoot meristematic tissues and rapid DNA content determination by flow cytometry

This paper describes a novel approach to rapid cell-cycle analysis of shoot meristematic cells. The method involves fixation and disaggregation of meristems into protoplast suspension and flow-cytometric analysis of these protoplasts stained with fluorescent dyes. We have developed a procedure for a high-yield isolation of protoplasts allowing an accurate flow-cytometric analysis with a few micrograms of meristem tissues. We present here determinations of total DNA content of protoplasts stained with propidium iodide in the dicotyledon Sinapis alba, and the monocotyledon Lolium temulentum.

Effect of cellulases on spontaneous fusion of maize protoplasts

Summary The effect of protoplast-isolating enzymes on spontaneous fusion of maize protoplasts (Zea mays L. cv. Black Mexican Sweet) was investigated using a convenient ethidium bromide nuclear staining procedure. After 2–2.5 hour digestion in an enzyme solution containing 1% Cellulysin, 0.5% Rhozyme, and 0.02% Pectolyase Y-23, 50–75% of the protoplasts contained multiple nuclei. The cellulase Cellulysin was identified as the factor causing the spontaneous protoplast fusion; when Cellulysin was replaced by CELF cellulase, most protoplasts were uninucleate. Calcium and other components in the enzyme solution did not affect spontaneous fusion. Cellulysin also increased the percentage of multinucleate protoplasts from rice and asparagus suspensions. Presence of multiple nuclei might affect genetic manipulations involving protoplasts.     

Protoplast liberation and regeneration in the ascomycete Hypomyces ochraceus (Pers.) Tul

A rapid and convenient method for producing protoplasts from 3 d old mycelium of the ascomycete Hypomyces ochraceus is described. The procedure involves a Helix pomatia enzyme preparation and sucrose (20%) for stabilization. Pretreatment with disulfide bond reducing agents reduced the amount of viable protoplasts. Formation of protoplasts and different stages of regeneration were observed by phase contrast microscopy. There was only one type of true regeneration from protoplasts to hyphae in 15-30% gelatine medium by direct forming a germ tube from the original protoplast. Cytological events and physiological conditions are discussed.     

The interaction betweenE. coli spheroplasts and plant protoplasts: A proposed procedure to deliver foreign genes into plant cells

Summary E. coli spheroplasts can be used to deliver DNA vectors into plant protoplasts. The use of fluorescent dyes showed that 25–100% of the protoplast population was associated with 1–9 spheroplasts following incubation with several fusogens. Electron microscopy demonstrated spheroplasts attached to protoplasts via a plasma membrane protrusion after high pH/Ca²⁺ treatment, but PEG-high pH/Ca²⁺ promoted endocytosis of spheroplasts into a plasma membrane bounded vesicle. Ultrastructural profiles showed that fusion between spheroplasts and protoplasts did not occur. Immunofluorescence studies detectedE. coli antigens associated with tobacco protoplasts, and after fusogen treatment the antigens were dispersed within the peripheral cytoplasm. The elimination of residual contaminatingE. coli cells from protoplasts was achieved by lysozyme and antibiotic treatment, thus allowing DNA vector assessment in axenic culture.     

Protoplasts as tools in cell biology

Studies of plant protoplasts using both fluorescent dyes and electron dense probes have demonstrated endocytosis in plants. Ultrastructural work with soybean protoplasts using cationized ferritin (CF) revealed an endocytotic pathway from coated pits at the plasma membrane to coated vesicles, the partially coated reticulum, Golgi bodies, multivesicular bodies and finally the vacuole. Endocytosis may be responsible for membrane retrieval from the cell surface or degradation of elicitors or toxins during host-pathogen interactions. Immunofluorescence studies of dividing plant protoplasts have provided new information about the preprophase band (PPB) of microtubules and the shape of spindles. Studies of PPBs in soybean protoplast cultures permitted detailed examination of PPB development and an assessment of the usefulness of the PPB index for identifying morphogenic cultures. In multinucleate protoplasts the size and number of PPBs were apparently not controlled by nuclear number. Research with conifer protoplasts resulted in the discovery of new features of gymnosperm spindles.
