Troubleshooting table.

Step Problem Possible reason Solution
13 Poor/bad quality protoplast yield Poor plant growth conditions Check that the pH of the MS media is between 5.6-5.8.
Check and optimize growth conditions, such as light intensity, temperature, and photoperiod.
Ineffective enzymatic digestion Optimize digestion time for each transgenic line, accession, and plant tissue.
25 The protoplasts do not adhere properly Insufficient glow discharging Verify and adapt glow discharge conditions.
29 Non-vitrified ice in the samples Many cells were not properly plunge frozen, producing a thick sample Adjust the number of protoplasts when plunge freezing.
Poor blotting conditions Adjust the blotting parameters adequately, depending on the type of filter paper to be used, as well as the blotting force and time.
