Protoplast Fusion

Protoplast Fusion is a biological technique in which cell wall-deficient plant or microbial cells (protoplasts) from genetically distinct sources are induced to merge, facilitating the hybridization of their cytoplasmic and nuclear components to generate somatic hybrids for strain improvement.
