Abstract

Results of observation showed that the female gametophyte of Ginkgo biloba was at the coenocytic stage from March 30ty to May 30ty. A density of 6-8 x 10(5) protoplasts/ml with a viability of 87.3% was achieved when the female gametopytes collected from May 8th to 15th were treated with 0.5% cellulase Onzuka R-10, 0.5% Pectolyase for 4-5 hours. The thin-layer liquid Murashige and Tuker medium modified by omitting ammonium ions and supplementing with glutamine 1000 mg/L, Vc 5 mg/L, benzyladenine 1.0 mg/L and naphthaleneacetic acid 3.0 mg/L was used for the protoplast culture and multiple cell colonies were obtained.
