Abstract: | A batch assay to study and measure the regeneration of cell walls during the early days of culture of primary protoplasts is presented. The assay involves the measurement of Calcofluor White fluorescence on a scanning fluorometer when the Calcofluor is adsorbed to the cellulosic component of the newly synthesized cell walls. The Calcofluor fluorescence, when standardized with microcrystalline cellulose, provided a measure of cell wall cellulose. The assay was used to study cell wall regeneration in Hyoscyamus muticus L. protoplasts during 8 days of culture. |
