    Notes: Abstract The bacterial gene aad A encodes the enzyme aminoglycoside-3″-adenyltransferase that confers resistance to spectinomycin and streptomycin in Escherichia coli. Chimeric genes have been constructed for expression in plants, and were introduced into Nicotiana tabacum by Agrobacterium binary transformation vectors. Spectinomycin or streptomycin in selective concentrations prevent greening of N. tabacum calli. Transgenic clones, however, formed green calli on selective media containing spectinomycin, streptomycin, or both drugs. Resistance was inherited as a dominant Mendelian trait in the seed progeny. Resistance conferred by the chimeric aad A gene can be used as a color marker similar to the resistance conferred by the streptomycin phosphotransferase gene to streptomycin.

    Notes: Summary Plant cells in photoheterotrophic culture respond to streptomycin by bleaching and retarded growth but no cell death. A new genetic marker for plant cell transformation has been developed that is based on the expression of the enzyme streptomycin phosphotransferase (SPT), and confers the ability to form green colonies on a selective medium. Coding sequences of SPT from the bacterial transposon Tn5 were placed under the control of gene expression signals derived from the Agrobacterium Ti plasmid Ach5. The 5′ end of the SPT gene has been replaced with the promoter region of the gene coding for the first enzyme of agropine biosynthesis, the 3′ end with that of the enzyme octopine synthase. The chimeric SPT gene has been linked to a selectable kanamycin resistance gene, and introduced into Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana plumbaginifolia by selection for the linked kanamycin resistance marker. Streptomycin resistance was expressed in some but not all of the kanamycin-resistant lines and was transmitted to the seed progeny as a dominant nuclear trait.
