Protoplasts of four Daucus carota subspecies and three wild Daucus species were isolated from 2-week-old shoot cultures during overnight incubation in an enzyme mixture composed of 1 % (w/v) cellulase Onozuka R-10 and 0.1 % (w/v) pectolyase Y-23. Before the culture, they were embedded in autoclave- or filter-sterilized alginate solution. Modified thin alginate layer (TAL) and extra thin alginate film (ETAF) techniques were applied for protoplast immobilization. A rich mineral-organic medium based on the formulation of Kao and Michayluk supplemented with 0.1 mg l(-1) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 0.2 mg l(-1) zeatin, and optionally 100 nM phytosulfokine (PSK), a peptidyl plant growth factor, was used for protoplast culture. Plating efficiency was genotype-dependent and in 40-day-old cultures, it varied from 10 % for Daucus pusillus to 73 % for D. carota subsp. sativus. A considerably higher ability in colony formation was observed in the modified TAL culture system using filter-sterilized alginate and in the presence of PSK in the protoplast culture medium. Plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis stimulated by PSK application occurred for five out of the seven Daucus accessions used in the present study. We believe our data may facilitate the use of wild Daucus in somatic hybridization with cultivated carrot.
