II. The cell walls of cells are
digested by enzymes like pectinase and cellulase to expose the naked
protoplasts.
III. Naked protoplasts
surrounded only by plasma membranes are isolated.
IV. The isolated protoplasts are
fused to obtain hybrid protoplasts under sterile conditions in special nutrient
media.
V. The hybrid protoplasts are
cultured in a suitable media to form new plant. Thehybrid protoplast contains
characters of both parental protoplasts.
