A method for regenerating plants from petiole protoplasts of the in vitro-raised sweet potato cultivar Jewel is described. Protoplast yields of 3.0-5.0x10(6) were obtained following 4-6 h digestion of 1- to 2-cm petioles (1 g fresh weight) with 1% Cellulase-R10, 2% Macerozyme-R10, and 0.3% Pectolyase Y-23 in a washing solution with 9% mannitol. A plating density of 10(5) protoplasts/ml was optimal for subsequent division. An initial division frequency of 12-15% was obtained in liquid or agarose-solidified KP8 culture medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (0.9 mu M), and zeatin (2.3 CIM). Colonies consisting of 100-200 cells were formed after 4 weeks in the dark at 24 +/- 2 degrees C. The frequency of colony formation was improved by the gradual addition of fresh liquid KP8 medium of lower osmoticum. Proto-calli (1-2 mm in diameter) were formed after an additional 4-6 weeks under continuous illumination and regular dilution with fresh culture medium. Morphogenic callus formed globular and heart-shaped embryos that developed into cotyledon stage embryos, following transfer of calli onto medium containing 2,4-D (11.3 mu M) and benzylaminopurine (2.2 mu M). Subsequently, embryo conversion to plantlets was obtained on basal medium with 2% sucrose and 3.5 mu M gibberellic acid. Regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted in soil. Mature plants appeared phenotypically normal. The same petiole protoplast populations showed transient expression of the gusA gene introduced using electroporation.
