Abstract
Micro/nanorobots represent a new generation of micromachines that can accomplish various tasks, such as loading and transporting specific targets or pharmaceuticals for a given application. Biohybrid robots consisting of biological cells (bacteria, sperm, and microalgae) combined with inorganic particles to control or propel their movement are of particular interest. The skeleton of these biohybrid robots can be used to load biomolecules. In this work, the authors create biohybrid robots based on tomato plants by coculturing ferromagnetic nanoparticles (Fe3 O4 ) with tomato callus cells. The tomato-based biohybrid robots (Tomato-Biobots) containing Fe3 O4 nanoparticles are driven by a transversely rotating magnetic field. In addition, biohybrid robots are used to load vitamin C, to generate clones of tomato cells. It is shown that the presence of Fe3 O4 does not affect the growth of tomato callus. This study opens a wide range of possibilities for the use of biohybrid robots@Fe3 O4 to deliver conventional agrochemicals, including fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, and allows for a gradual and sustained release of nutrients and agrochemicals, leading to precise dosing that reduces the amount of agrochemicals used. This conceptually new type of micromachine with application to plants and agronomy shall find broad use in this field.

Abstract
Tomato genotypes superior in regenerating plants from protoplast and callus cultures were obtained by transferring regeneration capacity from Lycopersicon peruvianum into L. esculentum by classical breeding. The genetics of regeneration and callus growth have been studied in selfed and backcross progenies of a selected plant (MsK93) which has 25% L. peruvianum in its ancestry. Segregation data showed that the favourable cell culture traits of L. peruvianum are dominant. Regeneration capacity from established callus cultures was controlled by two dominant genes. Callus growth on primary expiants, callus growth of established cultures and shoot regeneration from explants had high heritabilities (0.47, 0.78, 0.87, respectively). Callus growth and regeneration capacity were not correlated within the populations studied.

Abstract
The leaf disc transformation/regeneration system was modified for tomato (L. esculentum). Both leaf explants and cotyledon/hypocotyl sections can be used to regenerate transformed plants. We have obtained over 300 transgenic plants from eight tomato cultivars. We have evidence for both single and multi-copy insertions of the T-DNA, and have demonstrated inheritance of the T-DNA insert in the expected Mendelian ratios. Several heterologous promoters function in tomato. A reduced efficiency of transformation was observed with binary T-DNA vectors as compared to co-integrate T-DNA vectors. The ease of the leaf disc method makes tomato a premier experimental organism for plant biotechnology.

Abstract
An efficient and reliable protocol for tomato protoplast isolation, culture, and plant regeneration has been developed. Fourteen diverse cultivars were tested. Fertile plants were regenerated from all 14 cultivars without any modification in the protocol. Plating efficiency (percentage of the protoplasts that formed minicalli) of up to 50% was achieved. Those mini-calli rapidly regenerated shoots at high frequencies. Regenerated shoots can be easily rooted on a basal medium with the appropriate auxin, and have been set to soil within two months after the isolation of the protoplasts.
