Protoplast

fusion Protoplast fusion is a type of cellular fusion technique used in biotechnology to combine two different cell types in order to create novel, genetically modified organisms. It involves the same principles as traditional laboratory methods of cell fusion but is generally done outside of the cell, on the cell membrane, in a process known as protoplasting. This technique is particularly useful for directly transferring genes from one species to another and can be used to produce disease-resistant crops and other useful organisms. Protoplast fusion has revolutionized the field of biotechnology, making it possible to quickly and efficiently modify cells with desired traits and characteristics.
