Popis: One of the transformed tobacco plants obtained by direct DNA transformation possessed two marker genes, a chimeric aminoglycoside phosphotransferase and nopaline synthase genes. Selfed progenies of this plant (T3-d) showed stable inheritance of these two genes. The minimum size of foreign DNA integrated into tobacco genome was estimated to be 5.4 kbp. A deleted nopaline synthase gene co-existed with an intact gene. The linkage analysis indicated that two transformants, T1-b and T3-c, possessed foreign DNA inserted in different chromosomes or in different sites of the same chromosome that recombine freely.
