Transfer of algal chloroplasts into protoplasts of higher plants.
Polyethylene-glycol treatment of mixed suspensions of isolated protoplasts and of chloroplasts induces chloroplast uptake by the protoplasts. Chloroplasts of algal origin (Vaucheria dichotoma (L.) Ag.) were transferred with high frequency into protoplasts of Daucus carota L.
