    Abstract:
    A Charon 4A phage library, containing insert DNA isolated from a morning glory (Convolvulus arvensis) plant genetically transformed by Ri T-DNA from Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4, was used to isolate a lambda clone that contains part of the Ri TL-DNA and the complete TR-DNA. The two Ri T-DNAs were recovered adjacent to each other in a tail-to-tail configuration (i.e. with the TR-DNA inverted with respect to the TL-DNA). Comparison of nucleotide sequences from this lambda clone with the corresponding sequences from the Ri plasmid allowed us to determine the location of the T-DNA/plant junction for the right end of the TL-DNA and the left and right ends of the TR-DNA. We located, near each of these borders, a 24 bp sequence that is similar to the 24 bp consensus sequence found near the pTi T-DNA extremities. In addition, sequences similar to the "core" overdrive sequence from pTi are located near each right border. Hybridization and nucleotide sequence analysis of the DNA adjacent to the TL/TR junction shows that no plant DNA is located between the TL and TR-DNAs and suggests that the plant DNA adjacent to the end of the TR-DNA may have been rearranged during the integration into the plant genome.
