Suberin Production by Isolated Tomato Fruit Protoplasts

Phytoalexin Production by Isolated Soybean Protoplasts

Protoplasts, Soybean Cell Suspension Cultures, Phytoalexin Production, Phytophthora megasperm a f. sp. glycinea, Glucan Elicitor Protoplasts isolated enzymatically from suspension-cultured cells of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr., cv. Harosoy 63) were used to study the production of the isoflavonoid-derived phytoale­ xin, glyceollin. A large enhancement in the in vivo rates of synthesis and catal...

The Large-scale Isolation of Protoplasts from Immature Tomato Fruit

It has long been realised that the study of isolated protoplasts offers a potentially new approach to problems of plant cell biology. For this potential to be fully realised, intact protoplasts must be produced, free from contamination by cell debris, on a scale sufficiently large to enable biochemical and physiological experiments to be performed. This aim, though not impossible as has been su...

Oxygen consumption and lipoxygenase activity in isolated tomato fruit chromoplasts

This Study using purified tomato fruit chromoplasts has shown significant rates of oxygen consumption even in the absence of external precursors. Oxygen consumption rates increased up to 7-fold when chromoplast samples were incubated for 24 h at room temperature. This increase in oxygen consumption is most likely due to the activation of lipoxygenase in the chromoplasts.
