New visible and fast assay system have been developed for tobacco transformant introduced with adenosine deaminase (ADA) marker gene, which converts cytotoxic adenosine analogues to non-toxic inosine analogues and ammonia. Ammonia was changed to blue color in the solution of phenol-nitoprusside and alkaline-hypochlorite. It was possible to detect activity of ADA visibly on the holes of 96 well plate using tiny explant of transgenic tobacco leaves within 1 hour incubation time.
