Fantasies and dreams have their rightful place in science, and
sometimes they turn into reality. Regeneration of hybrid plants
through protoplast fusion is one such dream come true. In the early
1970s I shared the pioneering excitement in the field of protoplast
technology at the Second International Congress of Plant Tissue
Culture held in Strasbourg, France. Subsequently, I participated in
three international conferences devoted to plant protoplasts, in
Salamanca, Spain (1972), Versailles, France (1972), and Nottingham,
England (1975). At Versailles Dr. P.S. Carlson presented his work
on the successful regeneration of somatic hybrids between Nicotiana
glauca and Nicotiana langsdorfii. The enthusi- asm shown by the
participants was sufficient indication of the bright future of
somatic hybridization. On my return from Versailles, I gathered my
thoughts and prepared a concept paper on Potentials of Protoplast
Culture Work in Agriculture which was published in Euphytica (Bajaj
1974). The studies on protoplast fusion and somatic hybridization
then gained momentum and active work started in many laboratories.
Very significant work was done by Melchers et al. (1978) who
obtained a somatic hybrid between potato and tomato, calling it
"Pomato".
