Protoplasts of 6 alloplasmic and 2 euplasmic sunflower inbred lines were isolated from dark grown seedling hypocotyls with a density of 2 x 10(4) protoplasts/ml. The protoplast suspension was mixed with a solution of 0.5% agarose (sigma - type 1), then pipetted in droplets of about 1000 protoplasts. Droplets were surrounded by two different liquid media. After 30 days droplets from both media were transferred to solid differentiation medium. Protoplast division, microcolony frequency and the number of calluses produced were strongly dependent on medium composition and genotype. The number of calluses per 1000 protoplasts plated range from 0.3 to 5.0 according to the genotype and the method used. The alloplasmic line RHA274-PEF1, was the best responding genotype for calluses produced in both media used. In all cases, the percentage of calluses for alloplasmic lines were significantly higher when compared with the nucleus donor genotype. H. petiolaris fallax cytoplasm increased both the number of calluses produced and the percentage of microcolonies. The complex interaction among genotypes tested indicates that protoplast culture responses are affected independently by nuclear-cytoplasm interactions. Some nucleus-cytoplasm combinations can improve the protoplast culture responses in sunflower.
