چکیده

A newly synthesized phospholipid, l,2-0-Dipentadecylmethylidene-glycerol-3-phosphoryl-(N-ethylamino) -ethanolamine, having positive charge was found to exercise fusion activity on plant proto­ plasts. This phospholipid is not found in cells and has an unusal chemical structure with a dioxo­ lane ring. Some properties of this compound are discussed in relation to phospholipid-induced cell fusion.

A simplified Protocol to Induce Callogenesis in Protoplasts of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Cultivars

Background: In Algeria, date palm is currently confronted to the Bayoud disease. Biotechnological tools such as protoplasts fusion can appear as an alternative to ensure rapid multiplication and improvement of this species. Objectives: Callogenesis induction in protoplasts isolated from embryogenic callus of three date palm cultivars. Materials and Methods: Some factors influencing the isolatio...

Effects of Protoplast Fusion on δ-endotoxin Production in Bacillus thuringiensis Spp. (H14)

In this study, mutant forms of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. israelensis (H14) were produced. These mutants were identified when the cells were cultured on chloramphenicol plates and stained with crystal violet. Protoplasts of the mutants were isolated by enzymatic digestion (lysozyme) of the cell walls at the presence of an osmotic stabilizer. The protoplasts were induced to fuse to each other i...

The influence of phytohormones on zeta potential and electrokinetic charges of winter wheat cells.

The zeta potential measurements of protoplasts obtained from winter wheat cell culture and phospholipid liposomes were performed to determine the electrokinetic charge in a medium containing various phytohormones (kinetin, 2,4-D and zearalenone) in absence and in presence of 2 x 10(-5) MCa2+. Calli were induced from immature inflorescences (inf) and embryos (emb) and cultured to obtain non-embr...
