Summary
A streptomycin-resistant cell line, SR155, was selected in a callus culture initiated from diploid Nicotiana sylvestris.
Regenerates of the SR155 line have a grossly altered morphology, an altered peroxidase isoenzyme pattern, and do not flower. The SR155 plants are diploid, but in the karyotype a chromosome translocation was detected.
