R. Revathi et D. Lalithakumari, VENTURIA-INAEQUALIS - A NOVEL METHOD FOR PROTOPLAST ISOLATION AND REGENERATION, Zeitschrift fur Pflanzenkrankheiten und Pflanzenschutz, 100(2), 1993, pp. 211-219
A procedure for efficient isolation and cell wall regeneration of prot
oplasts from Venturia inaequalis is described. Protoplasts were obtain
ed from mycelia using digestive enzyme mixture containing pectinase, c
ellulase, beta-glucuronidase, chitinase and novozym 234 with different
osmotic stabilizers. Conditions for protoplast release including myce
lial age, enzyme combination and choice of osmotic stabilizer have bee
n standardized and conditions for high regeneration frequency of proto
plasts have also been determined.
