GFP lights up somatic hybridization
To be successful, somatic hybridization depends on efficient selection and regeneration of somatic hybrids. Olivares-Fuster et al. (pp. 491-497) propose green fluorescent protein as a non-destructive in vivo marker for monitoring cell growth and for selecting somatic hybrids. It is seen as a promising tool for establishing or improving methods for protoplast fusion and somatic hybrid regeneration.
