Abstract
Schemes for efficient regenerationand recovery of shoots from in vitro tissues or single cells, such as protoplasts, are only available for limited numbers of plant species and genotypes and are crucial for establishing gene editing tools on a broader scale in agriculture and plant biology. Growth conditions, including hormone and nutrient composition as well as light regimes in key steps of known regeneration protocols, display significant variations, even between the genotypes within the same species, e.g., potato (Solanum tuberosum). As fresh plant material is a prerequisite for successful shoot regeneration, the plant material often needs to be refreshed for optimizing the growth and physiological state prior to genetic transformation. Utilization of protoplasts has become a more important approach for obtaining transgene-free edited plants by genome editing, CRISPR/Cas9. In this approach, callus formation from protoplasts is induced by one set of hormones, followed by organogenesis, i.e., shoot formation, which is induced by a second set of hormones. The requirements on culture conditions at these key steps vary considerably between the species and genotypes, which often require quantitative adjustments of medium compositions. In this mini-review, we outline the protocols and notes for clonal regeneration and cultivation from single cells, particularly protoplasts in potato and rapeseed. We focus mainly on different hormone treatment schemes and highlight the importance of medium compositions, e.g., sugar, nutrient, and light regimes as well as culture durations at the key regeneration steps. We believe that this review would provide important information and hints for establishing efficient regeneration strategies from other closely related and broad-leaved plant species in general.

Efficient Protoplast Regeneration Protocol and CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Editing of Glucosinolate Transporter ( GTR) Genes in Rapeseed ( Brassica napus L.). FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2021; 12:680859.

Abstract
Difficulty in protoplast regeneration is a major obstacle to apply the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technique effectively in research and breeding of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). The present study describes for the first time a rapid and efficient protocol for the isolation, regeneration and transfection of protoplasts of rapeseed cv. Kumily, and its application in gene editing. Protoplasts isolated from leaves of 3-4 weeks old were cultured in MI and MII liquid media for cell wall formation and cell division, followed by subculture on shoot induction medium and shoot regeneration medium for shoot production. Different basal media, types and combinations of plant growth regulators, and protoplast culture duration on each type of media were investigated in relation to protoplast regeneration. The results showed that relatively high concentrations of NAA (0.5 mg l-1) and 2,4-D (0.5 mg l-1) in the MI medium were essential for protoplasts to form cell walls and maintain cell divisions, and thereafter auxin should be reduced for callus formation and shoot induction. For shoot regeneration, relatively high concentrations of cytokinin were required, and among all the combinations tested, 2.2 mg l-1 TDZ in combination with auxin 0.5 mg l-1 NAA gave the best result with up to 45% shoot regeneration. Our results also showed the duration of protoplast culture on different media was critical, as longer culture durations would significantly reduce the shoot regeneration frequency. In addition, we have optimized the transfection protocol for rapeseed. Using this optimized protocol, we have successfully edited the BnGTR genes controlling glucosinolate transport in rapeseed with a high mutation frequency.

Abstract
In vitro regeneration is a pre-requisite for developing transgenic plants through tissue culture-based genetic engineering approaches. Huge variations among different genotypes of the genus Brassica necessitate the identification of a set of regeneration conditions for a genotype, which can be reliably used in transformation experiments. In this study, we evaluated the morphogenesis potential of four commercial cultivars (Faisal canola, Punjab canola, Aari canola, Nifa Gold) and one model, Westar, from four different explants namely cotyledons, hypocotyls, petioles and roots on three different Brassica regeneration protocols, BRP-I, -II and -III. The regeneration efficiency was observed in the range of 6-73%, 4-79.3%, 0-50.6%, and 0-42.6% from cotyledons, petioles, hypocotyls and roots, respectively, whereas, the regeneration response in terms of average shoots per explant was found to be 0.76-10.9, 0.2-3.2, 0-3.4 and 0-2.7 from these explants. Of the commercial varieties tested, almost all varieties showed poorer regeneration than Westar except Aari canola. In comparison to Westar, its regeneration frequency from cotyledons was up to 7.5-fold higher on BRP-I, while it produced up to 21.9-fold more shoots per explant. Our data show that the explant has strong influence on the regeneration response, ranging from 24% to 92%. While the growth of commercial cultivars was least affected by the regeneration conditions provided, the effect on Westar was twice that of the commercial cultivars. After determining the optimal explant type and regeneration conditions, we also determined the minimum kanamycin concentration levels required to selectively inhibit the growth of untransformed cells for these cultivars. Regenerated shoots of Aari canola could be successfully grown to maturity within 16-18 weeks, with no altered phenotype noted and normal seed yields obtained. Therefore, the commercial variety, Aari canola, could be a good candidate for future genetic transformation studies.

Abstract
Protoplasts isolated from etiolated hypocotyls of 6-day-old seedlings of Brassica juncea cv RLM 198 were cultured in a modified V47 medium containing 7% mannitol, 2% sucrose, 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/l NAA and 0.4 mg/l BAP, at a density of 5×10(4) protoplasts per ml of medium. Cultures were incubated in the dark at 25+1°C. After 7 d of culture, cell colonies were diluted with 8p medium containing 5% mannitol and a similar hormone combination as described earlier. After 14 d, cell colonies were embedded in 8p medium containing agarose and 3.5% mannitol. Immediately upon gelling, liquid 8p medium was added to each Petri dish as an overlayer, and cultures were incubated in the light. After a total of 3 to 4 weeks in culture, microcalli were obtained. A modified MS medium with 2% sucrose, 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/l kinetin solidified with 0.5% agarose was used for growing microcalli into callus lines. On MS medium containing 2% sucrose, 0.1 mg/l IAA, 2.0 mg/l zeatin riboside and 2.0 mg/l BAP, solidified with 0.5% agarose, about 35% of the calli regenerated multiple shoots. The time required from culture of protoplasts to multiple shoot regeneration was about 10 weeks. Regenerated shoots were rooted and plants were re-established in a growth chamber at high frequency.

Abstract
Hypocotyl protoplasts of 45 different genotypes of German winter oilseed rape Brassica napus L. (double zero quality: high in yield, seeds low in erucic acid and glucosinolate content) were regenerated to plants. Triazine/triazinone (tri)-tolerant chloroplasts of the Canadian spring oilseed rape variety OAC Triton were introduced into some winter oilseed rapes by means of protoplast fusion. X-ray irradiation was used to limit the transfer of nuclear DNA of Triton protoplasts and to promote the selective transfer of tri-tolerant chloroplasts. Regenerated "cybrid" plants survived a treatment rate of 1000 g/ha metribuzin. The presence and segregation of the tri-tolerant chloroplasts in winter oilseed rape plants, regenerated from fusion products and their progeny, was investigated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Our results indicate that chloroplast segregation was not completed in plants regnerated from fusion products derived from X-irradiated OAC Triton mesophyll protoplasts and German winter oilseed rape hypocotyl protoplasts. In regenerants and their progeny both chloroplast types can still be present. Chloroplasts derived from wintertype protoplasts can outcompete tritolerant chloroplasts during plant development. In some instances, even progeny plants not kept under selective conditions (metribuzin) lost tri-tolerant chloroplasts. A homogenous population of tri-tolerant chloroplasts was necessary to obtain stable tri-tolerant winter oilseed rape plants.

Abstract
Brassica napus L.(cv Topas) plants tolerant to chlorsulfuron (CS) were isolated after selection experiments utilizing microspores and haploid protoplasts. The first microspore-derived plant (M-37,) was CS tolerant, haploid and sterile. Normal plant morphology and fertility was restored after colchicine doubling. A CS tolerant plant was also selected from protoplasts (P-26) isolated from microspore-derived embryo tissue and grown on medium containing CS. P-26 was aneuploid, CS tolerant and had very low fertility. The two selected lines produced selfed progeny which were tolerant to from 10-100 times the CS levels of the corresponding Topas plants. Microspores and protoplasts derived from the selfed plants were also CS tolerant. The segregation pattern for CS tolerance from reciprocally crossed progeny of M-37 and Topas was consistent with a semi-dominant nuclear mode of inheritance. Biochemical analysis of the two mutants indicated that the microspore-derived mutant and F1 crosses contained an altered acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) enzyme, while the AHAS activity of the protoplast mutant was similar to Topas. Selfed seed from the M-37 plants have provided tolerance to CS in both greenhouse and field tests. S1 plants from a second microspore selected mutant (M-42) have tolerated 30 g/ha of CS in greenhouse tests. The two single-celled selection systems are discussed and the microspore selection system highlighted as a new method for in vitro selection.

Abstract
Protoplasts isolated from mesophyll cells of Eruca sativa Lam., cultured on suitable medium, underwent sustained cell divisions to form calli. The plating efficiency was found to be 0.4%. The protoplast-derived calli subsequently produced plantlets through organogenesis (15.71%) and somatic embryogenesis (11.25%). Regenerated plants exhibited normal appearance. These results indicate potential to introgress desirable traits from this wild crucifer into important oilseed and cole Brassicas by protoplast fusion and hybrid recovery.

Abstract
Protoplast fusion was used to combine cytoplasmic triazine resistance (ctr) and Polima type cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) in Brassica napus. The cybrids produced constitute the major biological input required for the production of commercial single-cross hybrid rapeseed bearing cytoplasmic triazine resistance. The results also indicate that Polima cms is associated with the mitochondrial genome.
