Freshly isolated haploid mesophyll protoplasts of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia were transformed for kanamycin resistance. In 38% of the 224 transformants analysed, transmission of the NPTII gene occurred as a homozygous trait, while 62% of the transformants were heterozygous for the trait. In the first case, the foreign DNA integration predominantly (95%) resulted in monogenic inheritance. The second group was characterized by a significant (46%) proportion of multiple insertions. However, there was no clear-cut difference in the integration pattern between the two groups. Furthermore, transformation rates were increased by 4- to 10-fold when transformed diploid protoplasts were treated with UV light or with 3-aminobenzamide. The number of insertion sites was also increased by these treatments. These results shed further light on the fate of the foreign DNA in transformed plants and on means to control or manipulate the integration event(s).
