Abstract
New methods were developed to isolate the male gametophyte of Torenia fournieri at any developmental stage. The stages were defined by light microscopic studies and identified by correlating morphological traits of the flower buds. Enzyme solutions were used to isolate gametophytic cells. Preliminary studies were carried out to determine the components of the cell wall, and the optimal osmotic pressures of the appropriate enzyme solutions were adjusted to the different developmental stages. We managed to isolate diploid microsporocytes, haploid microspores, cells of young and mature pollen grains, and sperm cells from growing pollen tubes. Isolated protoplasts were collected in microcapillaries to prepare them for further studies.
