    Notes: Abstract A number of Solanum nigrum mutants resistant to the antibiotics spectinomycin, streptomycin and lincomycin have been isolated from regenerating leaf strips after mutagenesis with nitroso-methylurea. Selection of streptomycin- and spectinomycin-resistant mutants has been described earlier. Lincomycin-resistant mutants show resistance to higher levels of the antibiotic than used in the initial selection, and in the most resistant mutant (Ll7A1) maternal inheritance of the trait was demonstrated. The lincomycin-resistant mutant L17A1 and a streptomycin plus spectinomycin resistant double mutant (StSpl) were chosen for detailed molecular characterisation. Regions of the plastid DNA, within the genes encoding 16S and 23S rRNA and rps12 (3′) were sequenced. For spectinomycin and lincomycin resistance, base changes identical to those in similar Nicotiana mutants were identified. Streptomycin resistance is associated with an A → C change at codon 87 of rps 12 (converting a lysine into a glutamine), three codons upstream from a mutation earlier reported for Nicotiana. This site has not previously been implicated in streptomycin resistance mutations of higher plants, but has been found in Escherichia coli. The value of these mutants for studies on plastid genetics is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In plants most instances of programmed cell death (PCD) occur in a number of related, or neighbouring, cells in specific tissues. However, recent research with plant cell cultures has demonstrated that PCD can be induced in single cells. The uniformity, accessibility and reduced complexity of cell cultures make them ideal research tools to investigate the regulation of PCD in plants. PCD has now been induced in cell cultures from a wide range of species including many of the so-called model species. We will discuss the establishment of cell cultures, the fractionation of single cells and isolation of protoplasts, and consider the characteristic features of PCD in cultured cells. We will review the wide range of methods to induce cell death in cell cultures ranging from abiotic stress, absence of survival signals, manipulation of signal pathway intermediates, through the induction of defence-related PCD and developmentally induced cell death.
