<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The 6b gene of Agrobacterium tumefaciens AKE10 (AK-6b) induces crown gall tumors on certain plants but so far there have been no reports of the gene being able to induce tumors on culture medium, We cloned T-DNA segments containing the 6b gene but lacking the auxin and cytokinin biosynthesis genes from A. tumefaciens AKE10. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaf discs infected with A. tumefaciens LBA4404 carrying the clones produced shooty calli on hormone-free Murashige-Skoog medium. The relevant T-DNA segment was integrated into plant DNA as determined by Southern hybridization. Some of these immature shoots spontaneously developed into mature shoots, of which several leaves displayed morphological abnormalities. When leaf discs of these mature plants were placed onto the same medium numerous shoots developed from the wounding sites, indicating that the transgenic plants possessed a high regenerative potential. Northern blot and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analyses showed a large accumulation of the AK-6b transcripts in the shooty calli, but only a limited degree in mature plants, demonstrating that AK-6b expression is regulated in plants and essential for the early stages of regeneration. Cytokinin levels in the shooty calli were comparable to those in normal shoots, suggesting that shoot regeneration is not mediated by the modulation of cytokinin content.</jats:p>
