Abstract
A procedure for culturing protoplasts from slowly growing embryogenic calli of wheat was developed The procedure was dependent on the ability to isolate large numbers of culturable protoplasts from slowly growing embryogenic callus Approximately 68% of the isolated protoplasts divided, and 22% formed colonies; of the latter, 67% continued to proliferate Plating efficiency was reduced when protoplasts were transformed by polythylene glycol, electroporation, and/or Agrobacterium Intact cells were also directly transformed by electroporation Direct electroporation of the Agrobacterium binary vector into intact cells resulted in a significant increase of GUS activity over the control
