In contrasts to protoplast fusion which is particularly useful for combining large parts of the genome in a mixed cytoplasm, especially where the characteristics of interest are controlled in a complex manner by a large number of genes, the power of recombinant DNA technology is greatest when small numbers of individual genes controlling known gene products are involved. 1, record 1, English, - mixed%20cytoplasm

Contrairement à la fusion de protoplastes qui est particulièrement utile pour combiner de grandes parties d’un génome dans un cytoplasme mixte, surtout lorsque les caractéristiques qui présentent de l'intérêt sont contrôlées de manière complexe par un grand nombre de gènes, la technologie de l'ADN recombinant offre les possibilités les plus grandes lorsque l'on met en œuvre un petit nombre de gènes bien déterminés qui régissent des produits connus. 1, record 1, French, - cytoplasme%20mixte

Protoplasts may fuse in the presence of polyethylene glycol (and some other agents). The fusion may take place within sister cells or with the cells (protoplasts) of any taxonomically distant organisms such as mammalian and plant cells ... When the genetic differences between the fused protoplasts [are] large, the fused cells may not divide or may not divide continuously. Somatic hybrids between related species may, however, behave like allopolyploids and form fertile or sterile hybrids after regeneration. 2, record 2, English, - protoplast%20fusion
