Triazine-resistant Nicotiana mutants from photomixotrophic cell cultures
Triazine-resistant mutants have been isolated in photomixotrophic cell cultures of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Triazine herbicides inhibit photosynthesis and cause extensive photodestruction of chloroplasts (bleac...

Interspecific protoplast fusion to rescue a cytoplasmic lincomycin resistance mutation into fertile Nicotiana plumbaginifolia plants
A lincomycin-resistant cell line, LR105, was isolated in a mutagenized (0.1 mM N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea) callus culture initiated from a haploid Nicotiana sylvestris plant. The regenerated plants had an abnormal mor...

Article
Large scale isolation of maternally inherited lincomycin resistance mutations, in diploid Nicotiana plumbaginifolia protoplast cultures
Lincomycin-resistant clones were isolated in diploid protoplast cultures of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Selection of the resistant clones was based on the ability of resistant calli to green in the presence of the...

Transfer of cytoplasmic male sterility by selection for streptomycin resistance after protoplast fusion in Nicotiana
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in Nicotiana is located on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) on which no selectable mutation has been isolated. The possibility of co-transfer of CMS and a selectable chloroplast trait, s...

Article
Lincomycin resistance, a new type of maternally inherited mutation in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia
Lincomycin resistant cell lines were screened in monoploid (X = 10 chromosomes) protoplast cultures of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Lincomycin is an inhibitor of protein synthesis on plastid ribosomes and normally ...

Nitrate reductase deficient cell lines from haploid protoplast cultures ofNicotiana plumbaginifolia
Nitrate reductase deficient (NR-) cell lines were selected indirectly by their resistance to 40 mM chlorate in protoplast cultures of haploidNicotiana plumbaginifolia. Frequency of the chlorate resistant clones w...

Article
Complementation in somatic hybrids indicates four types of nitrate reductase deficient lines in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia
Allelism of nine nitrate reductase deficient (NR−) Nicotiana plumbaginifolia cell lines was tested by complementation after protoplast fusion. Complementation was recognized by the appearance of somatic hybrid co...

Article
Cytoplast-protoplast fusion for interspecific chloroplast transfer in Nicotiana
Protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum (SR1), carrying a maternally-inherited streptomycin resistance mutation, were enucleated by centrifugation through a Percoll gradient. The resulting cytoplasts containing resistan...

Isoleucine-requiring Nicotiana plant deficient in threonine deaminase
Well characterized auxotrophic mutants would greatly assist the genetic manipulation of flowering plants, but such mutants are rare1–3. Moreover, auxotrophic mutants isolated at the plant level4–8 and some of tho...

Extensive rearrangements in the mitochondrial DNA in somatic hybrids of Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana knightiana
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was studied in the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum+Nicotiana knightiana somatic hybrids previously described. Restriction patterns generated by the SalI and BamHI restriction endonucleases w...

Article
Chloroplast transfer in Nicotiana based on metabolic complementation between irradiated and iodoacetate treated protoplasts
Protoplasts of a light sensitive plastome mutant of Nicotiana tabacum (2 n=48) were irradiated and fused with iodoacetate-treated Nicotiana plumbaginifolia (2 n=20) protoplasts. Treated parental protoplasts were ...

Article
The use of cytoplasmic streptomycin resistance: Chloroplast transfer from Nicotiana tabacum into Nicotiana sylvestris, and Isolation of their somatic hybrids
Leaf protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum SR1 (2n=4x=48) treated with iodoacetate (10 mM; 25 C; 30 min) and consequently unable to divide, and untreated leaf protoplasts of Nicotiana sylvestris (2n=2x=24) were fused ...

Article
Genetic instability in somatic hybrids of Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana knightiana
Somatic hybrids of Nicotiana knightiana (2n=2X=24) and an albino mutant of Nicotiana tabacum (2n=4X=48) were selected after polyethylene glycol induced protoplast fusion. Three lines were selected on the basis of...

Article
Restoration of morphogenic potential in Nicotiana by somatic hybridisation
KR103 is a kanamycin resistant cell line of Nicotiana sylvestris, deficient in inducible shoot redifferentiation. The existence of a genetically unaltered inducibility factor in KR103 was tested by fusing protopl...

Article
A cell line of Nicotiana sylvestris with resistance to kanamycin and streptomycin
Cell lines resistant to 50 μg ml-1 kanamycin sulphate were isolated from cell suspension cultures initiated from a haploid Nicotiana sylvestris plant. One line, KR103, has been studied in detail. Resistance of th...

Transient cycloheximide resistance in a tobacco cell line
Cycloheximide-resistant cell lines have been recovered from tissue cultures of haploid Nicotiana tabacum at the usual mutant frequency (10-6). One such line, CR 4/6 was studied in detail. Resistance is based on t...
