A novel selection system for plant genetic transformation was developed based on the enzyme tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC; EC 4.1.1.28) from Catharanthus roseus. This enzyme converts the toxic tryptophan analogue 4-methyl tryptophan (4-mT) into the non-toxic compound 4-methyl tryptamine. Expression of
