Isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH), an inhibitor of the photorespiratory pathway blocking the conversion of glycine to serine and CO(2), has been used as a selective agent to obtain INH-resistant tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) callus cells. Of 22 cell lines that were INH-resistant, none were different from wild-type cells in their ability to take up [(3)H]INH or to oxidize INH to isonicotinic acid. In 7 of the 22 cell lines, INH resistance was associated with decreased inhibition of NAD-dependent glycine decarboxylation activity in isolated mitochondrial preparations. In the cell line that was most extensively investigated (I 24), this biochemical phenotype (exhibiting a 3-fold higher K(i) with INH) was observed in leaf mitochondria of regenerated plants and of plants produced from them by self-fertilization. After crosses between resistant and sensitive plants, the decreased inhibition of glycine decarboxylation was observed among F(2) and backcross progeny only in those plants previously identified as INH-resistant by callus growth tests. In contrast, in siblings identified as INH-sensitive, glycine decarboxylation was inhibited by INH at the wild-type level. This demonstration of the transfer of an altered enzyme property from callus to regenerated plants and through seed progeny fulfills an important requirement for the use of somatic cell genetics to produce biochemical mutants of higher plants.
