A plasmid pARK 22 harbouring thebargene encoding phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and nopaline synthase (NOS) terminator was constructed and introduced into root sections ofArabidopsis thalianausing the pneumatic particle gun. The root sections that had been bombarded with this plasmid gave four to eight times higher yield of drug-resistant calluses than those sections bombarded with pCaMVNEO or pCH, which respectively contain the neomycin phosphotransferase and hygromycin phosphotransferase genes. Among a number of primary transformant (T0) plants obtained from independent bialaphos-resistant calluses, three were studied by Southern blot hybridization and PAT enzyme activity analyses, confirming the stable integration of the foreign gene into theArabidopsisgenome and its expression in plants. The progeny analysis showed transmission of the foreign gene and its expression in up to the T2generation. Some of the T1progeny showed morphological abnormalities. Thus, thebargene can be used effectively to allow selection of transgenicA. thaliannaplants.
