          Abstract

          The technique of hybridization using plant protoplasts is widely used in plant breeding programs. The purpose of our study is to further characterize the process of protoplast isolation from the ornamental species Etlingera elatior (Jack) R. M. Smith. Protoplasts were isolated from different tissues: in vitro leaves, in vitro pseudostem, and leaves from plants cultivated hydroponically. We tested six enzymatic combinations, four incubation time periods, the rotary system (40 rpm) or steady in the dark, and three concentrations of mannitol (0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 M). The diameter and viability of obtained protoplasts were evaluated. The best source of explants used for protoplast isolation was the in vitro leaves, which yielded 22x10(5) protoplasts g-1 of fresh matter. The optimal incubation period was 15 hours. The in vitro leaves presented a greater viability (96%) and larger protoplasts (36.7 µm diameter). Greater yields were obtained using a rotatory system with protoplasts incubated in the dark. The best enzymatic combination was 3% Cellulase “Onozuca” R-10 + 2% Meicelase + 1% Driselase + 1% Dextran + 5 mM MES, followed by the addition of 0.6 M mannitol.

          Com o objetivo de realizar hibridações que auxiliam em programas de melhoramento genético de flores ornamentais, protoplastos foram isolados a partir de diferentes tecidos (folhas in vitro, pseudocaules in vitro e folhas em sistema hidropônico) de Etlnigera elatior (Jack) R. M. Smith. Foram testados seis diferentes combinações enzimáticas, quatro períodos de incubação, sistema rotatório (40 rpm) ou estacionário no escuro, concentrações de manitol (0,5; 0,6 e 0,7 M), o diâmetro e a viabilidade dos protoplastos isolados. A melhor fonte de explante utilizado no isolamento de protoplastos foi folha in vitro, com rendimento de 22 x10(5) protoplastos g-1 MF. O melhor tempo de incubação foi 15 horas, pois períodos superiores a este causavam diminuição no rendimento e viabilidade dos protoplastos. Protoplastos de folhas in vitro apresentaram viabilidade de 96% e diâmetro de 36,7 µm. Maiores rendimentos foram alcançados em sistema rotatório e no escuro. A melhor combinação enzimática utilizada no atual trabalho foi a 3% Cellulase “Onozuka” R-10 + 2% Meicelase + 1% Driselase + 1% Dextran + 5 mM MES. A melhor concentração de manitol foi de 0,6 M.

          Tape-Arabidopsis Sandwich - a simpler Arabidopsis protoplast isolation method

          Background Protoplasts isolated from leaves are useful materials in plant research. One application, the transient expression of recombinant genes using Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts (TEAMP), is currently commonly used for studies of subcellular protein localization, promoter activity, and in vivo protein-protein interactions. This method requires cutting leaves into very thin slivers to collect mesophyll cell protoplasts, a procedure that often causes cell damage, may yield only a few good protoplasts, and is time consuming. In addition, this protoplast isolation method normally requires a large number of leaves derived from plants grown specifically under low-light conditions, which may be a concern when material availability is limited such as with mutant plants, or in large scale experiments. Results In this report, we present a new procedure that we call the Tape-Arabidopsis Sandwich. This is a simple and fast mesophyll protoplast isolation method. Two kinds of tape (Time tape adhered to the upper epidermis and 3 M Magic tape to the lower epidermis) are used to make a "Tape-Arabidopsis Sandwich". The Time tape supports the top side of the leaf during manipulation, while tearing off the 3 M Magic tape allows easy removal of the lower epidermal layer and exposes mesophyll cells to cell wall digesting enzymes when the leaf is later incubated in an enzyme solution. The protoplasts released into solution are collected and washed for further use. For TEAMP, plasmids carrying a gene expression cassette for a fluorescent protein can be successfully delivered into protoplasts isolated from mature leaves grown under optimal conditions. Alternatively, these protoplasts may be used for bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) to investigate protein-protein interactions in vivo, or for Western blot analysis. A significant advantage of this protocol over the current method is that it allows the generation of protoplasts in less than 1 hr, and allows TEAMP transfection to be carried out within 2 hr. Conclusion The protoplasts generated by this new Tape-Arabidopsis Sandwich method are suitable for the same range of research applications as those that use the current method, but require less operator skill, equipment and time.
