We have designed a new method for the recovery of T-DNA flanking sequences from T-DNA-tagged Lines of Arabidopsis thaliana. Since most transformation vectors in use contain a plant-selectable marker for kanamycin resistance, we can use the 3' part of the nptII coding region from the T-DNA to complement the bacterial 5' region of the nptII gene from Tn5 to reconstruct a functional kanamycin-resistance gene in Escherichia coli. We have constructed a vector that contains the 5' part of the nptII gene from Tn5 up to the unique Pst I site. By cloning total DNA from transformed lines in this vector, we were able to select directly for clones containing a T-DNA fragment, which reconstitutes a functional kanamycin gene, and a fragment of arabidopsis genomic DNA adjacent to the insertion. Flanking sequences up to 4 kb were rescued by this system.
