Protoplasts isolated from nucellar calli of navel orange and from leaves of satsuma mandari were fused by the PEG method. The fusion products were cultured in a Murashige & Tucker medium containing 0.6M sucrose. In this medium, some colonies developedinto whole plants thorough embryogenesis. One of the regenerated plants was shown to be a hybrid, which was proven by restriction endonuclease analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA. The chromosome number of the hybrid was 36. Both parents have a chromosome number 2n = 18. aCitrus aprotoplast fusion arDNA analysis aSomatic hybrid plant1 aOHGAWARA, T.1 aOHGAWARA, E.1 aOIYAMA, I.1 aISHII, S. tPlant Cell, tissue and Organ Culturegv. 14, p.63-69 1988.
