Abstract: | Summary Transgenic Atropa belladonna conferred with a herbicide-resistant trait was obtained by transformation with an Ri plasmid binary vector and plant regeneration from hairy roots. We made a chimeric construct, pARK5, containing the bar gene encoding phosphinothricin acetyltransferase flanked with the promoter for cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA and the 3 end of the nos gene. Leaf discs of A. belladonna were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes harboring an Ri plasmid, pRi15834, and pARK5. Transformed hairy roots resistant to bialaphos (5 mg/l) were selected and plantlets were regenerated. The integration of T-DNAs from pRi15834 and pARK5 were confirmed by DNA-blot hybridization. Expression of the bar gene in transformed R0 tissues and in backcrossed F1 progeny with a nontransformant and self-fertilized progeny was indicated by enzymatic activity of the acetyltransferase. The transgenic plants showed resistance towards bialaphos and phosphinothricin. Tropane alkaloids of normal amounts were produced in the transformed regenerants. These results present a successful application of transformation with an Ri plasmid binary vector for conferring an agronomically useful trait to medicinal plants.Abbreviations CaMV
