Protoplasts were produced from a soybean cell culture by enzymatic removal of the cell wall. The protoplasts were fixed after various periods of culture. There was a large amount of protoplast fusion during formation. The nuclear behaviour during division was observed. Nuclear fusion prior to nuclear division was common. Almost complete synchronization of multinucleates was found. Various abnormalities were present in nuclear and cellular division which could have led to aneuploid production.

Abstract Endopolygalacturonic acid lyase, purified from the phytopathogenic bacterium, Erwinia carotovora, induces phytoalexin accumulation in soybean (Glycine max L.) cotyledons. This pectin-degrading enzyme releases heat-stable elicitors of phytoalexin accumulation from soybean cell walls, citrus pectin, and citrus sodium polypectate. The most elicitor-active molecules ob­tained by treating soybean cell walls with endopolygalacturonic acid lyase have been purified and characterized. The cell-wall-derived elicitors are α-1,4-linked oligogalacturonides with degrees of polymerization of eight to twelve residues. The molecules with the highest specific elicitor activity were identified as α-1,4 -linked deca- and undecagalacturonides that contained 4,5-unsaturated galactosyluronic acid at the nonreducing termini.

The cell wall secreted immediately following sperm entry into an egg can be visualized by the fluorescent dye Calcofluor white. Cell wall secretion precedes nuclear fusion by 10–20 min. SEM observations of the surface of unfertilized and fertilized eggs and sperm attachment to eggs are described. These results are discussed in relation to fertilization in sea urchins and the biochemical phenomena associated with egg-sperm recognition in Fucus.
