Abstract
A method for promoting fusion of plant protoplasts comprising the steps of; (a) treating the plant protoplasts with a fusion agent, and then (b) incubating the resultant plant protoplasts in an incubation medium having an osmotic pressure lower than that required for maintaining the plant protoplasts in a stable form. This effectively promotes the fusion of the plant protoplasts at a higher fusion rate in a wider range of plants.
