Abstract
A pBI121-based expression cassette was constructed for a modified phos phinothricin acetyltransferase gene (PAT or bar) from Streptomyces hyg roscopicum. After agrobacterial transformation of Nicotiana tabacum SR 1 leaf disks and Solanum tuberosum cv. Prigozhii-2 stem segments, 12 t ransgenic tobacco and 3 transgenic potato plants were selected and ass essed for bar expression, resistance to herbicide phosphinothricin, an d F1 inheritance of the acquired trait. Al transgenic plants proved co mpletely resistant against phosphinothricin.
