Abstract

Examples of horizontal gene transfer involving nuclear genomes of plants are rare. Currently, only two examples were detected in certain species of tobaccos and toadflax. The paper firstly describes the genomic sequence of Linaria dalmatica (L.) P. Mill. 94% similar to that Agrobacterium rhizogenes rolC gene. A possible role of rolC gene and T-DNA in the evolution of Linaria as well as their potential role in the origin of plant species are argued.
