Isolation of the protoplasts fromAsteraceae by means of xylonase

Abstract
The enzyme xylonase was used to isolate the protoplasts from the leaves ofCalendula officinalis L.,Gazania splendens Moore,Tithonia rotundifolia Blake,Zinnia elegans Jacq- and from the petals ofDahlia variabilis (Willd.) Desf. The recovery of spherical undamaged protoplasts differed. The same method did not lead to the isolation of the protoplasts from callus cultures derived fromCalendula, Gazania andTithonia leaves respectively.
