Electrochemical protoplast fusion in citrus
We report here the development of a novel protoplast fusion method for citrus somatic hybridization. This new procedure, which we have named electrochemical protoplast fusion, is based on chemically induced protoplast aggregation, using a low concentration of polyethylene glycol, and DC pulse-promoted membrane fusion.
