Abstract: | Summary The structure of the T-DNA in Ri-transformed plants of Brassica napus, Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and Nicotiana tabacum was analysed. All the plants studied present a particular phenotype with wrinkled leaves. The T-DNA is composed of two parts: TL and TR. The size of the TL-DNA (19–20 kb) seems to be almost constant, except in N. tabacum where it is shorter. The TR-DNA can be absent, and its size varies from about 5–28 kb, with two predominant lengths. The smaller size does not include the region homologous to the tms genes of the pTi T-DNA. The copy number varies from one to four copies per plant genome. TL and TR-DNA are not always present in the same copy number, but in some cases are linked together. |
