Abstract

This image, which might initially resemble the moon, is a microscopic view of isolated rose flower cells. The magenta circles are petal protoplast cells, plant cells without cell walls, commonly used in plant genomic studies for transient transformation. Take a closer look at the rose petal protoplast, the pigments inside the cell are what contribute to the unique color of a rose flower. Surrounding them, the white background comprises cell debris resulting from enzymatic digestion during the isolation process. The successful isolation of these protoplast cells suggests potential applications in transient transformation experiments with rose flowers.
