Abstract
Tobacco plants resistant to wildfire disease have been regenerated from methionine sulfoximine-resistant calluses selected in vitro. The intracellular concentration of free methionine is elevated in two of the three mutant plants. Three rice cell lines which are resistant to the lysine analogue, S-(ß-minoethyl)-cysteine have also been isolated in vitro. Analyses of free and protein-incorporated amino acid composition reveal increased levels of several amino acids in the variant cell lines.
