The current status of electromanipulation, that is, electrofusion and electroporation, of plant protoplasts is reviewed. Parameters for electromanipulation as well as their practical implications are discussed. Some comparisons with the use of polyethylene glycol are made and the advantages of electromanipulation are considered.
