Abstract

Ti plasmids were constructed which contained Phaseolus vulgaris DNA coding for phaseollin under the transcriptional control of its own promoter or the octopine synthase promoter. Sunflower stem tissues in situ (seedlings) and in vitro were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing these plasmids. The RNA transcribed in transformed cells was characterized by hybridization procedures, S1 nuclease mapping and in vitro translation. Results showed that genomic intervening sequences had been correctly excised. Immunoreactive phaseollin polypeptides were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and antibody hybridization to electrophoretically separated protein extracts of tissues isolated from crown gall tumours which developed on the seedlings and from the transformed cells grown in tissue culture
