Untitled[edit]

The definition is a little contradictory. The first bullet point states: A protoplast is a plant, bacterial or fungal cell that had its cell wall completely or partially removed using either mechanical or enzymatic means.

The very next one gives a definition where the cell wall must be completely removed and that a spheroplast is a cell which has had its cell wall partially removed.

I removed the statement that protoplasts are used "for studying temporal gene expression", since it seems too vague to be useful without elaboration. –Adrian J. Hunter 01:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changed rating to high as this is high school/SAT biology content. The article goes together with plasmolysis and cell wall. - tameeria 22:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
