  • R-nj is approximately 90% homologous with the R genes P, S, Lc and B and has been used to isolate an Lc cDNA clone.
  • the protein encoded by the Lc cDNA has been shown to have features, characteristic of a transcriptional activator. From these, data and previous genetic analyses, it has been determined that all R genes encode functionally equivalent proteins and that developmental specificity of pigmentation is determined by differences in the R promoter regions. Thus, it has now been determined that transcriptional activators of anthocyanin biosynthesis, operatively linked to a suitable promoter in an expression cassette, have widespread utility as non-phytotoxic markers for plant cell transformation. Accordingly, a clone encoding for one of these genes (for example, the Lc gene or a translational equivalent thereof in maize) can be fused to appropriate expression sequences to provide an expression cassette which can be introduced into plant cells by any desired transformation method, such as microprojectile bombardment.
  • any desired transformation method such as microprojectile bombardment.
  • Red cells accumulating anthocyanin can be readily detected in epidermal and sub-epidermal layers of most tissues tested.

  • EXAMPLE 2 PLANT CELL TRANS ORMATI N Mature dry seed of W22 Al A2 Bzl Bz2 Cl C2 r-g:Stadler B-b pi was obtained from Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Johnston, Iowa. Kernels were surface sterilized for 20 min in 20% Clorox/0.1% Tween-20, washed three times in sterile distilled water and allowed to imbibe for 14-18 hrs in distilled water at room temperature. After removing the pericarp, embryos were dissected out and germinated on MS medium solidified with 0.5% Gel-Rite. The remainder of the kernel was split into halves which were placed with the exposed aleurone layer upper most on MS plates containing 0.25 M sorbitol.
  • Tissues were usually incubated at 30°C with an 18 hr/6 hr light-dark regimen. Half-kernels were bombarded the following day, whereas germinated seedlings were bombarded 36-48 hrs after plating. In most experiments, 5 ug each of pF ⁇ l459 and/or pPHl443 DNA was precipitated onto 4.375 mg of gold particles (Engelhard A1570 Flakeless) essentially as described in the patent application of Tomes, U.S. Serial No. 351,075, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Approximately 10 7 particles in a total volume of 1 uL were delivered using a particle gun as described by Sanford, et al.
  • Anthocyanin accumulation was first detectable at 14-18 hrs after bombardment in aleurone cells and some epidermal cells (e.g., scutellar node). In other tissues (e.g., epidermal cells of root, leaf, coleoptile, tassel, etc.), pigmentation often took 36-48 hrs to develop. In most cells, the red color was stable for several weeks following bombardment. Tissues were stained for GUS within 48 hrs following bombardment essentially as described by Jefferson et al., (1987) EMBO J. , 6, 3901-3907, except that the staining solution contained 1% DMSO.
  • R locus gene expression in plant tissues is conditioned by the Pi locus.
  • anthocyanin biosynthesis is light-dependent in all tissues except for the aleurone layer.
  • Pigmentation in the aleurone layer requires Cl, which is functionally equivalent to Pi.
  • Cl Pi and Cl pi aleurones and seedling tissues which had been incubated in either the light or the dark were bombarded with pPHl443
  • aleurone pigmentation resulting from the introduction of pPHl443 was independent of either Pi or light
  • seedling pigmentation required one or the other of these factors.
  • This characteristic provides the ability to distinguish between stably and transiently transformed cells by incubating the cells in the dark for several days post- bombardment and then returning them to growth in the light. Only cells which have been stably transformed will then become pigmented.
  • pigmentation was seen in the epidermal layer of the coleoptile, mesocotyl, scutellar node, coleorhiza and both primary and adventitious roots.
  • pigmentation was frequently observed in the trichomes and marginal hairs of young leaves and tassel glumes, as well as in epidermal and sub-epidermal cells. Red cells were also seen at lower frequency in the inner and outer layers of immature pericarp, immature tassels and anther locules and both culm and husk tissues. Surprisingly, pigmented cells were never observed in either immature or mature endosperm.
  • Cell-autonomous expression can be visualized in almost all tissues of the plant without having to disturb the integrity of the plant. This is extremely useful for developmental studies of maize and other plants and for obtaining stably transformed plants.
  • By introducing the gene into meristematic cells pigmented sectors of tissues can be followed during subsequent development. Stably transformed sectors which give rise to germ line tissues can yield transformed plants in the following generation.
  • This invention also provides materials and methods for the creation of new ornamental plants in which selected cells or tissues, or all cells or tissues, produce and accumulate anthocyanin pigmentation.
