Abstract
We have assessed the capacity of cultured protoplasts from two tissue sources of several commercially-grown broccoli cultivars to regenerate plants. A procedure that employs hypocotyl protoplasts and a culture medium with a high NAA:2,4-D auxin ratio was developed. The procedure permits highly efficient formation of colonies that regenerate shoots at frequencies of 8–17% with two of the four cultivars tested. The time required for the development of plants from protoplasts was 8–11 weeks. No mtDNA rearrangements were observed among any of 17 analysed regenerants. Double-stranded RNAs were detected in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) preparations of some, but not all, regenerants of one of the cultivars.Keywords
