Introduction Protoplast fusion is a technique used in genetic engineering, plant breeding, and plant biotechnology. It involves the fusion of two plant protoplasts, or cells that have had their cell walls removed, to create a hybrid plant. Protoplast fusion has been used to create new plant varieties with desirable traits, such as disease resistance, improved yields, and increased nutritional value. Let’s discuss the methods and mechanisms of protoplast fusion. Protoplast Methods of Protoplast Fusion There are several methods of protoplast fusion, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common methods are electrofusion, chemical fusion, and viral fusion. ... Read More
