Research probing the secret of how some single plant cells can regenerate into whole plants will benefit from a new culture protocol developed by RIKEN scientists. Some plants naturally possess the ...

In S. fungicidicus, protoplasts prepared by the digestion solution containing mutanolysin failed to regenerate, but regenerated scarcely if only lysozyme was used. This was probably because of ...

This study was led by Professor Kabin Xie (National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China). The authors found that overexpression of ADARdd in rice ...

ORNL scientists created a new microbial trait mapping process that improves on classical protoplast fusion techniques to identify the genes that trigger desirable genetic traits like improved biomass ...
