An effective protocol for protoplast isolation from young leaves and somatic embryogenic cells of species in the Chamelaucium group and the use of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) to enhance protoplast viability are described. Mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from young leaves of a white Geraldton waxflower (Chamelaucium uncinatum) line 583, using a mixture of 1% (w/v) cellulase R10, 0.5% (w/v) macerozyme R10, and 0.1% (w/v) pectolyase. Viability of isolated mesophyll protoplasts increased dramatically when SOD and CAT were added. The highest increase of 7.61-fold in viability and 4.34-fold of viable protoplast yield were achieved when a combination of SOD at 500 units mL⁻¹ and CAT at 2,000 units mL⁻¹ was added to the enzyme mixture. Somatic embryogenic cell-derived protoplasts were isolated from embryogenic suspension cells of C. uncinatum line 583 when 1% (w/v) hemicellulase was added to a combination of 2% (w/v) cellulase R10, and 1% (w/v) macerozyme R10. Addition of SOD at 500 units mL⁻¹ and CAT at 2,000 units mL⁻¹ to the enzyme mixture improved viability only slightly, to above 90%, but improved yield significantly (6.6-fold). This combination of enzymes was also used to isolate protoplasts from embryogenic suspension cells of Chamelaucium repens and from young leaves of C. uncinatum, Actinodium calocephalum, Verticordia etheliana, Verticordia grandis, Verticordia hughanii, and Verticordia mitchelliana successfully with viability >80% and viable yield >7 × 10⁵ cells g⁻¹ fresh weight (or per milliliter packed cell volume in the case of suspension cells).
