Somatic hybrid vigor in Citrus: Direct evidence from protoplast fusion of an embryogenic callus line with a transgenic mesophyll parent expressing the GFP gene.
2005-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Previous experience with citrus somatic fusion suggests that hybrid cells are generally more vigorous and have higher capacity for embryogenesis, compared to unfused cells from the embryogenic callus parent. However, this observation has never been validated due to the unavailability of an appropriate experimental design. Citrus mesophyll protoplasts never divide and regenerate into plants. Herein, mesophyll proto...
