Abstract: | Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Chinese Spring) protoplasts were isolated from immature embryos or embryogenic calli (3–4 weeks of culture on MS medium with 32 mg/1 dicamba) and cultured in R2 medium containing 2 mg/1 2,4-D by the nurse culture methods originally developed for rice protoplasts (Kyozuka et al. 1987). Protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli started to divide within 3–5 days and formed colonies at frequencies up to 2% after 3–4 weeks of culture, while protoplasts isolated from immature embryos formed colonies at much lower frequency (less than 0.1%). Some of these colonies were embryogenic, and they appeared at a frequency of approximately 0.5% of colonies formed when callus-derived protoplasts were used. From two of those embryogenic colonies, calli were regenerated and albino shoots and roots were obtained. |
