    Notes: Abstract  Hairy root clones were established from carrot root discs inoculated with an agropine-type strain of Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4 harbouring the gus reporter gene on the TL-DNA. The clones were periodically examined for their phenotypic characteristics and for their ability to express the gus gene, to produce opines and to grow in the presence of NAM. The presence of the gus gene in the roots was confirmed by Southern blot hybridisation. The clones displayed various morphologies which were generally not correlated with the transformation events, and they were highly unstable throughout the successive subcultures, both for their phenotype and for their ability to express the transgenes. Reversible inactivation of the gus gene expression was associated with a high gus copy number. This could have some consequences for fundamental studies and practical uses of hairy roots.

    Notes: Abstract Expression of therolC gene fromAgrobacterium rhizogenes causes morphological and developmental alterations in transgenic plants. The histological alterations underlying the macroscopic changes and the cellular localization of the site of expression of therolC gene have shown that: (i) the expression of therolC gene is developmentally regulated, (ii) in vegetative transgenic plants, the expression of therolC gene under the control of its own promoter is restricted to companion and protophloem cells, (iii) the site of action of the product(s) of the activity of the rolC enzyme is distinct from its site of expression, (iv) precise localization of the rolC peptide has been achieved by immunocytochemistry but not by the histochemical GUS assay. These results imply that the sites of action and expression of therolC gene in trangenic plants are physically separated. Thus the product(s) of the activity of the rolC enzyme must be a factor capable of being transported. Current models forrolC gene action are discussed taking into account the reported results.
