Protoplast-fusion-mediated transfer of organelles from Microcitrus into Citrus and regeneration of novel alloplasmic trees.

Iodoacetate-treated Citrus protoplasts from embryogenic nucellar calli of Sour orange (C. aurantium) or from Rough lemon (C. jambhiri) were fused with γ-irradiated protoplasts from a related genus, Microcitrus.
