Abstract
A method suitable for the large-scale isolation of cereal protoplasts from up to 50 g of leaf material is described. Surface-sterilized leaves from cv. of wheat, barley, maize, sorghum and triticale were diced and vacuum infiltrated with enzyme mixture composed of cellulysin (1% w/v), hemicellulase (1% w/v), and macerozyme (0.5% w/v). With this procedure, yields of between 106 and 107 protoplasts/g of leaves can be reproducibly obtained after only 1.5-3 h of enzymatic treatment. These protoplasts were almost 100% viable (as determined by fluorescein diacetate staining) and incorporation of 3H-uridine and 14C-leucine into an acid-insoluble fraction was demonstrated. Almost 33% of the ribosomes of these isolated protoplasts were present as polysomes
