Abstract
Atrazine and diuron resistant clones were isolated from diploid photoautotrophic protoplastderived colonies of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Protoplasts were mutagenised with 0.1 mM N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea and colonies were screened for resistance after plating. Selection of calli was carried out on their ability to grow and green on a selective medium containing either atrazine or diuron. Plants were regenerated from most tolerant calli. Herbicide spray showed that plants of 6 and 4 clones were resistant to atrazine and diuron, respectively.
