Highly efficient isolation of Populus mesophyll protoplasts and its application in transient expression assays.

<h4>Background</h4>Populus is a model woody plant and a promising feedstock for lignocellulosic biofuel production. However, its lengthy life cycle impedes rapid characterization of gene function.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>We optimized a Populus leaf mesophyll pro...
