Abstract excerpt
Progeny of tobacco line 2853.6, which carries a streptomycin phosphotransferase (SPT) gene interrupted by the maize element Activator (Ac), were selected for streptomycin resistance (Spr) because of germinal Ac excision. Some events gave rise to Spr alleles that were unstable and exhibited a mottled phenotype on streptomycin-containing medium due to somatic loss of SPT function. This instability was most...
