Abstract Background Plants have a remarkable reprogramming potential, which facilitates plant regeneration, especially from a single cell. Protoplasts have the ability to form a cell wall and undergo cell division, allowing whole plant regeneration. With the growing need for protoplast regeneration in genetic engineering and genome editing, fundamental studies that enhance our understanding of cell cycle re-entry, pluripotency acquisition, and de novo tissue regeneration are essential. To conduct these studies, a reproducible and efficient protoplast regeneration method using model plants is necessary. Results Here, we optimized cell and tissue culture methods for improving protoplast regeneration efficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana. Protoplasts were isolated from whole seedlings of four different Arabidopsis ecotypes including Columbia (Col-0), Wassilewskija (Ws-2), Nossen (No-0), and HR (HR-10). Among these ecotypes, Ws-2 showed the highest potential for protoplast regeneration. A modified thin alginate layer was applied to the protoplast culture at an optimal density of 1 × 106 protoplasts/mL. Following callus formation and de novo shoot regeneration, the regenerated inflorescence stems were used for de novo root organogenesis. The entire protoplast regeneration process was completed within 15 weeks. The in vitro regenerated plants were fertile and produced morphologically normal progenies. Conclusion The cell and tissue culture system optimized in this study for protoplast regeneration is efficient and reproducible. This method of Arabidopsis protoplast regeneration can be used for fundamental studies on pluripotency establishment and de novo tissue regeneration.

Haploid callus and plants were cultured from the anthers of diploid A. thaliana. This depends on removing anthers during late prophase of meiosis, selecting a genotype favouring callus formation from dividing sporocytes on a high auxin-low kinetin concentration, fully defined medium, then inducing differentiation by transfer to a low auxin-high kinetin concentration, fully defined medium, with a light-dark cycle. Attempts to produce embryoids directly from' anthers were unsuccessful. The view that our approach may have Ii. more general application is discussed in relation to the work of others and our culture of haploid callus and plantlets from tomato (LycoperBicon eBculentum) and haploid callus from barley (Hordeum vulgare).

Cellular regeneration in response to wounding is fundamental to maintain tissue integrity. Various internal factors including hormones and developmental pathways affect wound healing but little is known about how external factors influence regeneration. To better understand how the environment affects regeneration, we investigated the effects of temperature using the horticulturally relevant process of plant grafting. We found that elevated temperatures accelerated vascular regeneration of Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) grafts. Leaves were critical for this effect since blocking auxin transport or mutating PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4) or YUCCA2/5/8/9 in the cotyledons abolished the temperature enhancement. However, these perturbations had no effect upon graft healing at ambient temperatures and mutations in PIF4 did not affect the temperature enhancement of callus formation or tissue adhesion, suggesting that leaf-derived auxin was specific for enhancing vascular regeneration in response to elevated temperatures. Tissue-specific perturbations of auxin response using a BODENLOS (BDL) mutant revealed an asymmetric effect of temperature upon regeneration: the presence of bdl above the cut prevented temperature enhancement whereas the presence of bdl below the cut prevented graft healing regardless of temperature. Promotion of tissue regeneration by elevated temperatures was not specific for graft healing and we found that elevated temperatures accelerated xylem formation between the parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum and host Arabidopsis thaliana, and this effect required shoot-derived auxin from the parasite. Taken together, our results identify a pathway by which elevated temperatures accelerate vascular development which could be of relevance for improving regeneration and better understanding inter-plant vascular connections.

The selection of valine-resistant mutants was carried out in leaf explant cultures of three <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> (L.) Heynh. ecotypes: C-24, RLD and Columbia. The valine concentration used for in vitro selection, lethal for seed-growing plants, has not affected callus formation and growth. However, strong inhibition of shoot regeneration ability of calli growing under selection pressure was noticed. In total, 1043 explants were cultured on valine medium and 18 shoots were regenerated with an average frequency of 1.7 shoots per 100 calli. Most R<sub>1</sub> shoots were sterile and seeds were collected from 3 plants. The transmission of valine-resistance to the sexual progeny of these plants was scored and the increased level of valine-resistance was found in progeny of one line - 61 C. This line originated from the culture of Columbia leaf explant and displayed tetraploid chromosome number.
