| Abstract: | Protoplasts prepared from the aseptic leaves of Rose Supreme in Gladiolus hybridus Hort. were cultured. The yield of protoplasts with vigour was the highest under the following conditions: 1.5％ cellulase Onzuka RS, 0.5％ pectinase Y-23, 0.6 mol· L-1 mannitol, pH 5.8, digestion time 2 h, and temperature 27 ℃. After isolation and purification, protoplasts were cultured in solid and liquid combined medium, which included KM8P, 0.6 mol· L-1 mannitol, 1.0 mg· L-1 2, 4-D, 0.2 mg· L-1 NAA and 0.2 mg· L-1 KT. The division of the protoplasts first emerged in medium after cultured 4 days, and emerged only a few times. |
