Protoplasts are plant (and microbial) cells from which the cell wall has been removed. They can be induced to take up molecules (such as DNA) from the environment. Under the right conditions, they can reform cell walls and in the case of plants, grow back into clumps of cells from which whole fertile plants can be regenerated.
