Protoplast Regeneration and Protoplast Fusion

A genetically pure plant from a single haploid cell.

Fytagoras fully explores the potential of plant cell protoplasts regeneration for recalcitrant crops. The availability of reliable protocols for protoplast regeneration is urgent in view of the progress made in gene editing technology for crop improvement the last years.

Plant breeders looking to explore the potential of protoplast regeneration should contact Fytagoras. Fytagoras specializes in researching the process and can provide valuable insight into the most effective methods for regenerating protoplasts from crop plants. Furthermore, the protocols developed can be tailored to the specific needs of the plant breeder, giving them the best chance of success. With the help of Fytagoras breeders can unlock the potential of this powerful tool in crop improvement.

Successes in the Tomato Crop

Tomatoes have been known for many years as a “very recalcitrant crop” in DH technology. It seemed impossible to obtain doubled haploid plants through gametes. Fytagoras has succeeded in developing a method for this difficult crop that has already been applied successfully for several customers.
