Abstract: | Protoplasts were isolated from subcultured gametophytes of Equisetumarvense by treatment with Driselase and then cultured in vitro.Addition of activated charcoal (AC) to the culture medium enhancedthe rate of cell division, as well as the survival of both protoplastsand regenerated protoplasts. However, subsequent division ofcells was not observed after one or two cycles of replicationin cultures supplemented with AC. When regenerated protoplastswere transferred to fresh medium without AC 3 to 5 weeks afterthe first plating, the transferred cells formed rhizoids anddeveloped into small, young gametophytes without the prior formationof cell clusters or calluses. Furthermore, sprophytic shootsdifferentiated from the protoplast-derived gametophytes whenthey were cultured on medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine(BA).
