Scientists fuse human cells with #Plant #Protoplasts in laboratories to study how #Chromosomes function across vastly different species.

These #Hybrids cannot develop into organisms but offer vital clues about the fundamental evolution of life on Earth.

#Protoplasts (plant cells with their walls removed) have been instrumental in the study of physiology and genetics for decades. This #review looks at the challenges that remain in the new age of #synthetic #biology and explores our capacity to...

✅ hybridise individual protoplasts to form new varieties
✅ regenerate individual protoplasts from single cells
✅ create protoplasts with new features

Plant protoplasts in the age of synthetic biology

Protoplasts have long contributed to plant biology. This review discusses how protoplasts aid in the ‘design–build–test–learn’ cycle in synthetic biology and ho
