Protoplast Cultures

Protoplasts are used to investigate a broad range of physiological problems reaching from the significance of the cell wall for nutrient uptake to mechanisms related to the synthesis of the cell wall. This chapter described methods to obtain protoplasts a

Preface to First Edition

This book is intended to provide a general introduction to this exciting field of plant cell and tissue culture as tool in biotechnology, without overly dwelling on detailed descriptions of all aspects. It is aimed at the newcomer, but will hopefully also stimulate some new ideas for the “old hands” in tissue culture. Nowadays, with the vast amount of information readily available on the internet, our aim was rather to distill and highlight overall trends, deeming that a complete report of each and every tissue culture investigation and publication was neither possible, nor desirable. For some techniques, however, detailed protocols are given. We have tried to be as thorough as possible, and regret if we have inadvertently overlooked any pertinent literature or specific development that belong in this work. The three authors have been associated for many years, and have worked together on various aspects in this field. Without this close interaction, this book would not
