1. Chemical synthesis of a single stranded oligonucleo-t;de The synthesis of fragment II, one of the four part-fragments I - IVD started from the terminal oLigonuc-leotide IIc (nucleotide No~ 219 to 31Z ;n the coding strand of DNA sequence I). For the solid-phase syn-thes;s, the nucleoside at the 3' end, that is to say guanosine (nucleotide No. 312) ;n ~he present case, is covalently bonded via ~he 3'-hydroxyl group to a support. The support material ;s CPG (controlled pore glass) funct;onalized w;th long-chain amino alkyl raclicals. Otherw;se, the syn~hesis follows the known (from the Said EP_A~) methOdS.
The plan of synthesis is ind;cated in DNA sequ~nce 2a ~.I.-~annex~7-!*wh;ch-lothe.r~i.se-^~ror~re-spor~ds-:to.:DNA se-quence I.
2~ Enzymatic linkage of the single-stranded oligonucleo-tides to give gene ~ragment II
For the phosphorylat;on of the oligonucleotides at the 5' end, 1 nmol of each Qf oligonucleotide~ IIb and IIc was treated with S nmol of adenos;ne tr;phos-phate and 4 un;ts of T4 polynucl~otide k;nase ;n 20 ~l of 50 mM tris-HCl buffer ~pH 7.6), 10 mM mag-nesium chloride and 1Q mM dithiothreitol (DTT) at 37G for 30 m;nutes~ The enzyme ;s inactivated by heating at 95C for 5 minutes. Oligonucleotides IIa and IId, which form the "protrud;ng" sequence ;n DNA fragment II, are not phosphorylated~ Th;s pre-vents the formation, dur;ng the subsequent l;ga~;on, of larger subfragments than correspond to DNA frag-ment II.
.. . .
132~36~
O~igonucleotides II (a-d) are ligated to give sub-fragment II as follows: 1 nmol of each of oligonuc-leotides IIa and IId and the 5'-phosphates of IIb and IIc are together dijsolved in 45 ~l of buffer containing 50 mM tr;s-HCl tpH 7.6), 20 mM magnesium chloride, 25 mM potassium chloride and 10 mM DTT.
For the annealing of the oligonucleotides correspond-ing to DNA fragm~nt II, the solution of the oligo-nucle3tides is heated at 95C for 2 minutes and then slowly ~ooled (2-3 hours) to 20C. Then, for the enzymaeic Linkage, 2 ~l o~ 0O1 M DTT, 8 ~l of 2.5 ~M adenosine triphosphate (pH 7) and 5 ~l o~ T4 DNA ligase (2000 un;ts~ arY added, and the mixture is incubated at 22C for 1b hsurs.
The gene fragment II is puri~ied by geL el~ctropho-resis on a 10X Polyacrylamide gel ~ithout addition of urea, Z0 x 40 cm, 1 ~m thick), ~he marker sub-stance used b~;ng ~X 174 DNA (from ~RL) cut ~ith - ?3 ~ -Hinfl,:or p~R3~2 cut:~ with -HaelII.
6ene fragm~nts I, III and IV are prep~red analogous-ly, although the "protruding" sequences are, before th~ annealin~, converted into the 53-phosphates be-cause no l;gat;on step is necessary.
3. Preparat;on of hybrid plas~ids containin~ gene frag-m~nts I, II, III and IV.
a~ Incorporation of gene frag~nt I in pUC18 Th~ commercially available Plasmid pUC1~ is opened in a known ~anner using the restriceion endo nucLea-ses SalI and XbaI in accordance ~ith the manufact-ure~s' instructions. The digest;on mixtur~ is frac-t;onated by el~ctrophoresis ;n a kno~n manner on a 1% agaras~ gelO and the fragmen~s are visuali~ed by staining ~ith ethidium bro~ide~ The plasmid band (about 2.6 kb) is then cut out of She agarose ~32~36~ :
gel and removed from the agarose by electro-elut;on.
1 ~g of plasmid, opened with XbaI and SalI, is then ligated with 10 ng of DNA fragment I at 16C
overnight.
b) Incorporation of gene fragment II in pUC18.
In analogy to 3), pUC18 is cut open ~ith XbaI and eamHI and ligated ~ith gene fragment II which has previously heen ph~sphorylated at the protru-ding ends as described in Exa-ple 2.
c~ Incorporation of gene fragmen~ III in pU~18 In analogy to a)~ pUC18 is cut open ~;th BamHI
and XmaIII and ligated with gene fragment III.
20~ d3 :In~orpora~--ion~o~;~gen~:~ragment.-IV--in pUC18 In analogy to a), pUC18 is cut ~ith YmaIII and SalI and ligated wi~h ~ene fragmer,t IV.
Construction of the co~plete gene and cloning in a pUC plasmid a) Transformation and amplification of gene fragments I - IY
The hybrid plasmids obtained ;n this way are transformed into E. coli. For this purpose~ the . ~
strain E. coli K 12 is made competent by treat--ment with a 70 mM calciu~ chLoride soLu~ion, and the suspension of the hybrid pLasmid in 10 mM
tr;s-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), which is 70 mM in cal-cium chioride, is added~ The transformed strains are selected as is customary, utiLizing the anti-biot;c resis~ances or sensitivities conf~rred by ~2~6~
-- 8 ~
the plasmid, and the hybrid vectors are amplified.
After the cells have been killed, the hybrid plas-mids are ;solated and cut open ~ith the restric-t;on enzymes or;ginally used, and gene fragments I, II, III and IV are isolated by gel electropho-resis.
b) Linkage of gene fragments I, II, III and IV to give the total gene Subfragments I and II obtained by amplification are linked as follows. 100 ng of each of the isolated fragments I and II are dissolved togeth-er in 10 ~l of buffer containing 50 mM tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 20 mM magnesium chloride and 10 mM DTT, and this solution is heated at 57C for 5 minutes.
After the solution has cooled to room temperature, 1 ~l of 10 mM adenosine triphosphate (pH 7) and 1 ~l of T4 ligase (400 units) are added~ and the 20 ~ mixt~re is incuba~-ed ~t-room~tempe-rature for 16 hours. After subsequent cutting with the restric-~ion enzy~es SalI and BamHI, the desired 312 bp fragment (nucleotides 1-312, SalI-~amHI) is puri-fied by gel electrophoresis on an 8% polyacryl-~5 amide gel, the warker substance used being ~X 174 RF DNA tfro~ 9RL~ cut with the restriction enzyme H3eIII .
Gene frag~ents III and IV are linked together in the same way, there being obtained after purifi-cation a 246 bp fragment (nucleotides 313-558~
Ba~HI~SalI~ The marker used for the gel electro-phoresis is pBR322 cut with the restriction en~
zyme MspI.
To contruct the total gene (DNA sequence I), 15 ng of the 312 bp fragment and 12 ng of the 246 bp fragment are ligated, as described above, with 1 ~9 of the commercially available plasmid pUC18 ~3~3~
_ 9 _ which has previously been cut open with the rest-riction enzyme SalI and enzymatically dephosphory-lated at the ends. After transformation and ampli-fication (as described in Example 4a), the correct clone having the 558 bp fragment corresponding to DNA sequence I is identified by SalI digestion~

O~igonucleotides II (a-d) are ligated to give sub-fragment II as follows: 1 nmol of each of oligonuc-leotides IIa and IId and the 5'-phosphates of IIb and IIc are together dijsolved in 45 ~l of buffer containing 50 mM tr;s-HCl tpH 7.6), 20 mM magnesium chloride, 25 mM potassium chloride and 10 mM DTT.
For the annealing of the oligonucleotides correspond-ing to DNA fragm~nt II, the solution of the oligo-nucle3tides is heated at 95C for 2 minutes and then slowly ~ooled (2-3 hours) to 20C. Then, for the enzymaeic Linkage, 2 ~l o~ 0O1 M DTT, 8 ~l of 2.5 ~M adenosine triphosphate (pH 7) and 5 ~l o~ T4 DNA ligase (2000 un;ts~ arY added, and the mixture is incubated at 22C for 1b hsurs.
The gene fragment II is puri~ied by geL el~ctropho-resis on a 10X Polyacrylamide gel ~ithout addition of urea, Z0 x 40 cm, 1 ~m thick), ~he marker sub-stance used b~;ng ~X 174 DNA (from ~RL) cut ~ith - ?3 ~ -Hinfl,:or p~R3~2 cut:~ with -HaelII.
6ene fragm~nts I, III and IV are prep~red analogous-ly, although the "protruding" sequences are, before th~ annealin~, converted into the 53-phosphates be-cause no l;gat;on step is necessary.
3. Preparat;on of hybrid plas~ids containin~ gene frag-m~nts I, II, III and IV.
a~ Incorporation of gene frag~nt I in pUC18 Th~ commercially available Plasmid pUC1~ is opened in a known ~anner using the restriceion endo nucLea-ses SalI and XbaI in accordance ~ith the manufact-ure~s' instructions. The digest;on mixtur~ is frac-t;onated by el~ctrophoresis ;n a kno~n manner on a 1% agaras~ gelO and the fragmen~s are visuali~ed by staining ~ith ethidium bro~ide~ The plasmid band (about 2.6 kb) is then cut out of She agarose ~32~36~ :
gel and removed from the agarose by electro-elut;on.
1 ~g of plasmid, opened with XbaI and SalI, is then ligated with 10 ng of DNA fragment I at 16C
overnight.
b) Incorporation of gene fragment II in pUC18.
In analogy to 3), pUC18 is cut open ~ith XbaI and eamHI and ligated ~ith gene fragment II which has previously heen ph~sphorylated at the protru-ding ends as described in Exa-ple 2.
c~ Incorporation of gene fragmen~ III in pU~18 In analogy to a)~ pUC18 is cut open ~;th BamHI
and XmaIII and ligated with gene fragment III.
20~ d3 :In~orpora~--ion~o~;~gen~:~ragment.-IV--in pUC18 In analogy to a), pUC18 is cut ~ith YmaIII and SalI and ligated wi~h ~ene fragmer,t IV.
Construction of the co~plete gene and cloning in a pUC plasmid a) Transformation and amplification of gene fragments I - IY
The hybrid plasmids obtained ;n this way are transformed into E. coli. For this purpose~ the . ~
strain E. coli K 12 is made competent by treat--ment with a 70 mM calciu~ chLoride soLu~ion, and the suspension of the hybrid pLasmid in 10 mM
tr;s-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), which is 70 mM in cal-cium chioride, is added~ The transformed strains are selected as is customary, utiLizing the anti-biot;c resis~ances or sensitivities conf~rred by ~2~6~

the plasmid, and the hybrid vectors are amplified.
After the cells have been killed, the hybrid plas-mids are ;solated and cut open ~ith the restric-t;on enzymes or;ginally used, and gene fragments I, II, III and IV are isolated by gel electropho-resis.
b) Linkage of gene fragments I, II, III and IV to give the total gene Subfragments I and II obtained by amplification are linked as follows. 100 ng of each of the isolated fragments I and II are dissolved togeth-er in 10 ~l of buffer containing 50 mM tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 20 mM magnesium chloride and 10 mM DTT, and this solution is heated at 57C for 5 minutes.
After the solution has cooled to room temperature, 1 ~l of 10 mM adenosine triphosphate (pH 7) and 1 ~l of T4 ligase (400 units) are added~ and the 20 ~ mixt~re is incuba~-ed ~t-room~tempe-rature for 16 hours. After subsequent cutting with the restric-~ion enzy~es SalI and BamHI, the desired 312 bp fragment (nucleotides 1-312, SalI-~amHI) is puri-fied by gel electrophoresis on an 8% polyacryl-~5 amide gel, the warker substance used being ~X 174 RF DNA tfro~ 9RL~ cut with the restriction enzyme H3eIII .
Gene frag~ents III and IV are linked together in the same way, there being obtained after purifi-cation a 246 bp fragment (nucleotides 313-558~
Ba~HI~SalI~ The marker used for the gel electro-phoresis is pBR322 cut with the restriction en~
zyme MspI.
To contruct the total gene (DNA sequence I), 15 ng of the 312 bp fragment and 12 ng of the 246 bp fragment are ligated, as described above, with 1 ~9 of the commercially available plasmid pUC18 ~3~3~
_ 9 _ which has previously been cut open with the rest-riction enzyme SalI and enzymatically dephosphory-lated at the ends. After transformation and ampli-fication (as described in Example 4a), the correct clone having the 558 bp fragment corresponding to DNA sequence I is identified by SalI digestion~
5. Transformation of the hybrid plasmids Cumpetent E. coli cells are transformed with 0u1 to ~ .
1 ~9 of the hybrid plasmid containing DNA sequence I~ and are plated out on amplicillin-containing agar plates. It is then possible to identify clones ~hich contain the correc~ly integrated sequences in the plasmid by rapid DNA analysis (Maniatis loc.

6. Fusion of the synthetic gene to regulation s;gnals ~hich are recognized in plants~
The optim;zed resistance gene ~hich had been provi-ded at the ends with SalI cleavage sites was ligated in the ~alI cLe3vage site of the polyl;nker sequence of the plasm;d pDH51 (Pietrzak et al., Nucle;c Acids Res. 14 (198b) 5857). The promoter and terminator of the 35S transcript ~rom cauliflower mosaic virus, which are recognized by the plant transcription appa-ra~us, are located on th;s plasmid. The ligat;on of the resistance gene resulted in it bein~ inserted do~nstrea~ of the promoter and upstream of the termin ator of the 35S transcript~ The correct orientation of the gene ~as sonfirmed by restriction analyses.
The promo~er of the ST-LS1 gene from s~lan~m t~bero sum (Eckes et al., Mol. 6en. Genet. 205 (1986) 14) was likewise ~sed for the expression of the optim;zed acetyLtransferase gene in plants.

and ligated in the EcoRI cleavage site of the intermediary E. coli vector pMPK110 (Peter Eckes, ___ Thesis, Univ. Cologne, 19850 pages 91 et seqO).
This intermediary vector was necessary for the transfer of the resistance gene ~ith its regu-lation sequences into the Ti pLasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This so-called conju-gation ~as carried out by the method described by Van Haute et al. (EMB0 J. 2 (1983~ 411).

The bacteria growing on the selective agar plates contained the three plasmids and were grown for the conjugation ~ith Agrobacteriu~ tume-faciens in YT liquid medium at 37C. The Agro bacteria were cultiva~ed in L~ medium at 28C.

The o~timized resistance gene ~as transferred into ~oba co plants using the so-called leaf disk trans- -~
~o~ma~ign method~
The Agrobacteria were cultured in 30 ml of L~ medium containing the appropriate antibiotics at 28C, ~hak-ing continuously (about 5 days). The bacteria ~ere th@n sQdimented by centrifugation at 700Q rpm in a ~3~13~
Christ centr;fuge for 10 minutes, and were washed once with 20 ml of 10 mM MsS04. After a further centrifugation, the bacteria were suspended ;n 20 ml of 10 mM MgS04 and transferred into a Petri dish.
Leaves of ~isconsin 38 tobacco plants growing on 2MS
medium in sterile culture were used for the leaf disk infection All the sterile cul~ur~s were main-tained at 25 to 27C in a 16 hours light/8 hours dark rhythm under ~hite light.
Tobacco leaves were cut off, and the leaf surfaces were lacerated ~ith sandpapern After the laceration~
the leaves were cut into smaller p;eces and d;pped ;n the bacterium culture. The leaf pieces were then transferred to M+S medium and maintained under nor-mal culture conditions for two days. After the 2-day ;nfect;on with the bacteria, the leaf p;eces ~ere ~ashed ;n liqu;d M~S medium and transferred to MSC1Q-agar plates. Transformed shoots ~ere selected -~ 20~ o~the;b-as.is of~ he-resist3nce~*0 the antib;otic kanamycin which had also been transferred. The first shoots became visibl~ 3 to 6 weeks later. In-div;dual shoots ~ere further cultivated on MSC15 medium in glass jars. In ehe ~eeks which followed, some of the shoots wh;ch had been cut off developed roots at the site of the cut.
It was aLso possible to select transformed plants directly on PTC-containing plant media. The presence and the expression of the PTC-resistance gene was demonstrated by DNA analysis (Southern blotting) and RNA anaiysis ~Northern blotting) of the transformed plants.
9. Demonstration of the PTC-res;stance of the transfor-med plants To check the funct;oning of ~he resistance gene in transformed plants, leaf fragments from ~ransformed ,; : : .: ~
_ 141_ and non-transfor~ed plants were transferred to M-~S
nutrient ~edia containing 1 x 10 4 M L-PTC. The fragments from non-transformed plants died, while the fragments from transformed plants were able to S regenerate new shoots. Transformed shoots took root and grew ~ithout difficuLty on M~S nutrient media containing 1 x 10 3 M L-PTC~ Transformed plants were, from sterile conditions, potted in soil and sprayed with 2 kg/ha and S kg/ha PTC. ~hereas non-transformed plants did not survive this herbicide ~reatment, transformed plants showed no da~age brought about by the herbicide. The appearance and gro~th behavior of the sprayed transformed plants was at least as good as that of unsprayed control plants.
10. Acetyltransferase assay to demonstrate acetylation of PTC in transgenic PTC-res;stant plants About 100 mg of leaf tissue from transgenic PTC--'~ ^ ?Z~.~'-,~,.,,, ~resistant;~tobacco~.pl-ants.~ rom~.n-on-t.rans.formed tobacco plants were homogenized in a buf~er composed of: 5Q mM tris-HCl, pH 7.5; 2 mM EDTA; 0.1 ~/ml leupeptin; 0.3 mg/ml bovine seru~ album;n; 0.3 ~g/ml DTT; 0.15 mg/ml phenyL~ethyLsulfonyl fluoride ~PMSF).
After subsequent centrifugation, 2n ~l of the clear supernatant ~ere incubated with 1 ~l of 10 mM radio-labe~L~d DrL-PTC and 1 ~l of 1U0 ~M acetyl-CoA at 37C for 20 minutesu 25 ~l of 1?% trichloroacetic acid w~re then added to ~he reaction mixture, fol-lo~ed by centrifugation~ 7 ~l of the supernatant were transferred to a thin-layer chromatography pla~e and subjPcted to ascending development twice in a mixture of pyrid;ne : n-butanol : acetic acid : ~ater (50 : 75 : 15 : 60 parts by volume). PTC and acetyl-PTC were separated ~rom one another in this way~ and could be detected by autoradio~raphy. Non-transformed plants exh;bited no conversion of PTC into acetyl-PTC, where-as transgenic resistant plants were capabLe of this.

9. Demonstration of the PTC-res;stance of the transfor-med plants To check the funct;oning of ~he resistance gene in transformed plants, leaf fragments from ~ransformed ,; : : .: ~
_ 141_ and non-transfor~ed plants were transferred to M-~S
nutrient ~edia containing 1 x 10 4 M L-PTC. The fragments from non-transformed plants died, while the fragments from transformed plants were able to S regenerate new shoots. Transformed shoots took root and grew ~ithout difficuLty on M~S nutrient media containing 1 x 10 3 M L-PTC~ Transformed plants were, from sterile conditions, potted in soil and sprayed with 2 kg/ha and S kg/ha PTC. ~hereas non-transformed plants did not survive this herbicide ~reatment, transformed plants showed no da~age brought about by the herbicide. The appearance and gro~th behavior of the sprayed transformed plants was at least as good as that of unsprayed control plants.
10. Acetyltransferase assay to demonstrate acetylation of PTC in transgenic PTC-res;stant plants About 100 mg of leaf tissue from transgenic PTC--'~ ^ ?Z~.~'-,~,.,,, ~resistant;~tobacco~.pl-ants.~ rom~.n-on-t.rans.formed tobacco plants were homogenized in a buf~er composed of: 5Q mM tris-HCl, pH 7.5; 2 mM EDTA; 0.1 ~/ml leupeptin; 0.3 mg/ml bovine seru~ album;n; 0.3 ~g/ml DTT; 0.15 mg/ml phenyL~ethyLsulfonyl fluoride ~PMSF).
After subsequent centrifugation, 2n ~l of the clear supernatant ~ere incubated with 1 ~l of 10 mM radio-labe~L~d DrL-PTC and 1 ~l of 1U0 ~M acetyl-CoA at 37C for 20 minutesu 25 ~l of 1?% trichloroacetic acid w~re then added to ~he reaction mixture, fol-lo~ed by centrifugation~ 7 ~l of the supernatant were transferred to a thin-layer chromatography pla~e and subjPcted to ascending development twice in a mixture of pyrid;ne : n-butanol : acetic acid : ~ater (50 : 75 : 15 : 60 parts by volume). PTC and acetyl-PTC were separated ~rom one another in this way~ and could be detected by autoradio~raphy. Non-transformed plants exh;bited no conversion of PTC into acetyl-PTC, where-as transgenic resistant plants were capabLe of this.
