Just realized that I study in the same school as a really influential plant scientist. He popped into one of our practicals. I didn’t know he developed the procedure! More about enzymatic protoplast formation and the work of Professor E. C. Cocking here.

After the pSB999 (above is a similar pBR322) plasmid has been taken into the cell, the expression of ampicillin resistance is not instantaneous. The coding region ampRmust undergo transcription into mRNA which must then be translated. Translation is the biosynthesis of proteins from mRNA. The expression of ampR results in an empirical phenotype, ampicillin resistance.
