We have adapted the technique of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) walking on uncloned human genomic DNA to plant genomic DNA. In this paper we show that PCR walking is an efficient and rapid, yet simple and reproducible approach for the characterisation of the plant genes tagged by an integrative molecule and for the isolation of regulatory sequences from plant DNA. PCR walking was used to amplify long Arabidopsis genomic DNA sequences at the right and left borders of the T-DNA of the transformed lines. The resulting sequence information was used to walk with different primer combinations varying in length and in Tm on wild type genomic DNA in order to characterise the T-DNA target site and to clone the corresponding wild type gene. We demonstrate that a small scale, rapid isolation protocol provides genomic DNA of sufficient integrity to make PCR walking appropriate for the routine analysis of large number of plants. We have used this approach with Brassica napus in order to isolate and characterise the regulatory sequences upstream of an open reading frame homologous to the FAEI gene of Arabidopsis. Thus, DNA walking on plant genomic DNA is an extremely efficient alternative to inverse PCR for the characterization of T-DNA flanking regions and eliminates the requirement of screening libraries for the isolation of genomic regions flanking coding sequences, ESTs, STSs or any short, known sequence.
