Protoplasts are produced with a high viability from coherent filaments of cells preculture for 24 hr during premeiosis and early meiotic prophase, but with low survival rates from free cells at late prophase. The suspensions of protoplasts contain multinucleate cells produced by spontaneous fusion at various frequencies up to 40%. In the enzyme solution meiotic protoplasts adhere to one another. When isolated at meiotic prophase, protoplasts may be cultured through the meiotic cycle.Read More
