TL;DR
A vector molecule for the efficient transformation of higher plants has been constructed with several features that make it efficient to use.
Abstract
A vector molecule for the efficient transformation of higher plants has been constructed with several features that make it efficient to use. It utilizes the trans acting functions of the vir region of a co-resident Ti plasmid in Agrobacterium tumefaciens to transfer sequences bordered by left and right T-DNA border sequences into the nuclear genome of plants. The T-region contains a dominant selectable marker gene that confers high levels of resistance to kanamycin, and a lac alpha-complementing region from M13mp19 that contains several unique restriction sites for the positive selection of inserted DNA.

It is presented that crown gall tumors are caused by the incorporation of part of a virulence plasmid carried by the inciting bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and the relationship between this plant tumor and virally induced animal tumor systems is discussed.

The presence of the chimeric gene in regenerated plants was demonstrated by Southern hybridization analysis, and its expression in plant tissues was confirmed by the ability of leaf segments to form callus on media containing kanamycin at concentrations that were normally inhibitory.

The degree of homology observed indicate that phosphotransferase type III and type I genes have diverged from a common ancestor and that the phosphot Transformer type II gene has emerged more recently from the type I evolutionary pathway.

Preliminary evidence indicates that nopaline in progeny of other similarly engineered plants is more uniform, and the disarming of pTiT37 by insertions at the "rooty" locus thus appears to produce a useful gene vector for higher plants.

The results of this study indicate that the morphogenetic factors and mechanisms that govern so precisely growth, cellular differentiation, and organogenesis during the normal course of development can completely suppress the tumorous state, leading to the formation of cells, tissues, and organs that appear normal in every respect but are, in fact, inherently neoplastic.
