1 Protoplast Preparation
Protoplast preparation of tobacco leaves was adapted from Koop et al.16 and slightly modified.
1.1 Buffer preparation
1. Prepare F-PCN medium:
Macro-salts [KNO3 (1012 μg/ml), CaCl2•2H2O (440 μg/ml), MgSO4•7H2O (370 μg/ml), KH2PO4 (170 μg/ml),NH4-succinate [(20 mM; prepare a 2 M stock solution (succinate (236 μg/ml) and NH4Cl (106 μg/ml), adjust to pH 5.8 to dissolve)],
Micro-salts [EDTA-Fe(III) x Na-salt (40 μg/ml), KJ (0.75 μg/ml), H3BO3 (3 μg/ml), MnSO4•H2O (10 μg/ml), ZnSO4•7H2O (2 μg/ml), Na2MoO4•7H2O (0.25 μg/ml), CuSO4•5H2O (0.025 μg/ml), CoCl2•6H2O (0.025 μg/ml)], MES (390 μg/ml), glucose (approximately 80 μg/ml) osmolarity 550 mOsm, pH 5.8 (KOH). Store in aliquots at -20 °C.
2. Prepare F-PIN medium: All ingredients as F-PCN but instead of glucose use sucrose (approximately 110 μg/ml), osmolarity 550mOsm, pH 5.8 (KOH). Store in aliquots at -20 °C.
3. Prepare W5 medium: 150 mM NaCl, 125 mM CaCl2, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM M ES, osmolarity 550-580 mOsm, pH 5.7 (KOH). Store at 4 °C (sterile filter through a 0.2 μm filter to prevent bacterial growth during longer storage).
4. Prepare fresh enzyme solution for protoplast isolation (0.1 g cellulase, 0.03 g macerozym in 10 ml F-PIN). Incubate the solution at 55°C for 10 min and cool to RT. Add 100 μl of 10% BSA to 10 ml solution.
1.2 Isolation of protoplasts
1. Place one infiltrated leaf into a Petri dish and add the fresh enzyme solution. Use a new razorblade to cut the leaf into approximately 0.5 cm2 sized pieces. Transfer the leaf-pieces with the enzyme solution into a vacuum-infiltration flask and vacuum
infiltrate for approximately 20 sec until air bubbles emerge from the leaves (release vacuum very carefully).
2. Shake the flask for 90 min at 40 rpm in darkness.
3. Release protoplasts by shaking for 1 min at 90 rpm. Filter the solution through gauze (100 μM) into a 15 ml centrifugation tube (round bottom).
4. Overlay the protoplast solution with 2 ml F-PCN buffer and centrifuge for 10 min at 70 x g (slow acceleration and deceleration) at RT.
5. Intact protoplasts accumulate at the interface of enzyme solution and F-PCN. Take a wide orifice 1 ml pipette tip to transfer the intact protoplasts into a fresh centrifuge tube and fill up with W5 buffer. Centrifuge for 2 min at 100 x g (slow acceleration and deceleration) to pellet the protoplasts.
6. Remove the supernatant carefully by using a pipette and resuspend pellet in approximately 200 μl W5 buffer, depending on the amount of protoplasts.
7. Always use wide orifice tips to prevent rupturing of intact protoplasts.

2 Isolation of protoplasts from Arabidopsis seedlings.
1. Slice 2 g of 14-day-old seedlings with a fresh razor blade in 15 ml of filter-sterilized TVL Solution. We chop plant material in sterile disposable Petri dishes.
2. Transfer chopped tissues into 200 ml beaker, add 20 ml of filter-sterilized Enzyme Solution, swirl the beaker to let tissues mix with Enzyme Solution, cover with parafilm and aluminum foil.
3. Shake plant tissues at 35 rpm in the dark at room temperature for 16-18 h.
4. Collect the released protoplasts into 50 ml Falcon tube by sieving through 8 layers of the cheese cloth, pre-wet in W5 Solution.

6. Carefully overlay protoplasts with 10 ml of W5 Solution, do not disturb the sugar gradient; centrifuge for 7 min at 100 g.
7. Collect 10 ml of protoplasts at the interface of Enzyme Solution and W5 Solution (Fig. 1B) and transfer to a new 50 ml Falcon tube.
8. Add 15 ml W5 Solution, centrifuge for 5 min at 60 g. Remove the supernatant.
9. Wash protoplasts free from Enzyme Solution by resuspending protoplasts in 15ml of W5 Solution, centrifuge for 5min at 60 g

Plant Materials
BE plants grown on the B5 medium
Greenhouse-grown BE, Col, Ler and C24 plants are fine Use well expanded leaves from 3-4 weeks old plants (the second and/or third/fourth pair, 1-2 cm) before flowering. Shorter photoperiod (12-13 h light or less, 50-150 μE) is recommended for Col and Ler that flower earlier under long-day condition.
Protoplast Isolation Procedure
Cut 0.5-1 mm leaf strips with fresh razor blades without wounding.
This is perhaps the most tedious part for most people. However, I consider it easier and more efficient than peeling the lower epidermis of the leaves one by one. It takes some practice to do a good job in cutting leaves. A very good preparation yields around 107 protoplasts/g fresh weight (about 100 to 150 leaves digested in 40-60 ml of enzyme solution). For a practice or for most small scale experiments, 10-20 leaves digested in 5-10 ml cellulase/macerozyme solution will give 0.5 -1 x 106 protoplasts that are enough for more than 50-100 samples (1-2 x 104 protoplasts per sample). Note that it is not necessary to use 106 protoplasts per sample for gene expression analysis as commonly recommended in other protoplast protocols. The experiments can be easily scaled up or down as long as the recommended DNA/protoplast ratio is followed (see below).
Use a flask (125 ml flask for 10 ml enzyme solution) with a side arm for leaf
digestion and apply vacuum infiltration for 5-30 min or just put leaf strips in a Petri dish with enzyme solution and put it into to a vacuum desiccator. Continue the
digestion for about 3 h without shaking in the dark (digestion time is depending on the experimental goals and desirable responses). This step needs to be tested empirically for your own assay. The usual prolonged incubation of leaves for 16-18 h in the dark for protoplast isolation is stressful and might eliminate physiological responses of leaf cells. However, the stress might be potentially important for the dedifferentiation and regeneration processes. The enzyme solution should turn green after a gentle swirling motion, which indicates the release of round protoplasts (check under microscope, the size of Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts is around 30 to 50 μm). We do not intend to release protoplasts 100%. Be gentle with protoplasts but you can handle them with regular pipets and pipet tips.
Filter the enzyme solution containing protoplasts with a 35-75 μm nylon mesh.
Spin at 100 x g to pellet the protoplasts in a round-bottomed tube for 1-2 min (speed 3 with an IEC clinical centrifuge). Higher speed or the addition of CaCl2 (50 mM) may be used if the protoplast recovery is poor. The pelleted protoplasts should be resuspended easily by gentle shaking. Wash protoplasts once in cold
washing/incubation (WI) solution for electroporation or W5 solution for PEG
transfection, and resuspend protoplasts in the same solution at 1-2 x 105/ml.Keep the protoplasts on ice (30 min) in WI or W5 solution. For some experiments, protoplasts could be kept at room temperature before use (Please test). Although the protoplasts can be kept on ice for at least 24 h, freshly prepared protoplasts should be used for the study of regulated gene expression, signal transduction, and protein trafficking, processing and localization. We use these protoplasts to study leaf cell responses to sugars, auxin, ABA, cytokinin, heat, EtOH, H2O2, heat, and elicitors. The responses in protoplasts are usually similar to those observed in intact plant leaves. These
protoplasts are also a good source for the isolation of intact nuclei and chloroplasts. If W5 solution is used, spin down protoplasts (speed 3 for 1 min) and resuspend in MMg solution (1-2 x 105/ml) before PEG transfection.
