In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Method of Protoplast Fusion 2. Mechanism of Protoplast Fusion 3. Identification and Selection 4. Verification and Characterisation. Isolated protoplasts are devoid of cell walls which make them easy tools for undergoing fusions in vitro. An important factor is that generally there is incompatibility barrier between two protoplasts […]
