Abstract:
:Free protoplasts were prepared from the living bark tissue of the trunk of summer and winter black locust trees by enzymic digestion of thin slices of the tissue for 3 hours in a medium containing 2% Onozuka cellulase, 2% Rhozyme pectinase, and 2% Driselase in mannitol solutions using 0.4 molar mannitol for summer tissue and 1.0 molar mannitol for winter tissues. Cleaned suspensions of protoplasts and also thin slices of tissue with cells intact were frozen to temperatures of -10 C, -20 C, -30 C, -40 C and liquid nitrogen in sucrose and balanced salt solutions. Similar suspensions of protoplasts were also subjected to strong osmotic dehydration (plasmorrhysis) in a series of balanced salt solutions of increasing molarity. Tests for survival showed that protoplasts retain the same properties of either extreme susceptibility or extreme resistance to injury by freezing or osmotic dehydration as the cells from which they are prepared. Winter protoplasts showed capability for tolerating freezing to -196 C and plasmorrhysis in 5 molar salt solutions. These results indicate that protoplasts are a valid and useful system for investigating the properties of the protoplasm and surface membranes associated with the seasonal development of extreme hardiness in the cells of woody plants.
