SummaryMesophyll protoplasts obtained from leaves of shoot cultures of Rehmannia glutinosa were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (1962) liquid or liquid-over-agar medium containing 2.0 mg L−1 naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.5 mg L−1 benzylamino purine. An amino acid mixture of glutamine, arginine, glycine, and aspartic acid promoted sustained protoplast division, with an average plating efficiency of 27%. Protoplast-derived colonies formed callus which readily regenerated shoots on t ransfer to Murashige and Skoog based agar medium with 2.0 mg L−1 indoleacetic acid and 1.0 mg L−1 benzylamino purine. Leaf explants also showed a marked capacity for shoot regeneration in culture.
