β¦ Synopsis
In a previous study two haploid streptomycin-resistant clones of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia were isolated. The chromosome number of one of these clones has now been doubled through leaf-midvein culture and the resultant diploids were characterized genetically. Our results show that streptomycin resistance in this clone is conditioned by a recessive nuclear gene. Haploid protoplasts of this streptomycin-resistant mutant were selected for chlorate resistance. All clones obtained from the selection were deficient in nitrate reductase activity in addition to resistance to streptomycin. Genetic analysis of progeny of one of these clones revealed that the genes for streptomycin resistance and for the apoenzyme of nitrate reductase are unlinked.

Lincomycin-resistant clones were isolated in diploid protoplast cultures of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Selection of the resistant clones was based on the ability of resistant calli to green in the presence of the antibiotic (1,000 mg 1-1), Sensitive colonies formed white calli under the same conditi
