Laser-induced fusion of mammalian cells and plant protoplasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ultraviolet-laser microbeam was shown to be suitable for inducing fusion of individually selected plant protoplasts or of B-lymphocytes with myeloma cells. The fusion took place in normal culture medium and the fusogenic condition perturbed the cells only for a fraction of a millisecond. Without manipulating the cell culture except for exposing the cells to laser light, fusion products between preselected individual pairs may be produced.

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...
متن کاملEffects 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...
متن کاملElectrically Stimulated Fusion of Different Plant Cell Protoplasts : MESOPHYLL CELL AND GUARD CELL PROTOPLASTS OF VICIA FABA.
Cell fusion is induced between guard cell and mesophyll cell protoplasts of Vicia faba by electrical field application. The process of fusion is initiated by electrical breakdown of the cell membrane. Prior to the application of an external electrical field pulse which brings about reversible breakdown of the membrane, the cells (suspended in a low-conducting medium) are brought into close cont...
متن کاملFusion of Plant Protoplasts Induced by a Positively Charged Synthetic Phospholipid
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.
متن کاملFine-structural studies on spontaneous and induced fusion of higher plant protoplasts.
During the treatment of some plant tissues with cell-wall-degrading enzymes adjacent cells within the tissue fuse forming large multinucleate protoplasts. These have been termed spontaneous fusion bodies. The symplastic nature of plant tissues suggests that the retention of plasmodesmatal connexions might facilitate such spontaneous fusion. An electron-microscopic investigation of spontaneous f...
