A rapid, efficient, and reproducible system to generate large numbers of
independently transformed, self-fertile, transgenic barley (Hordeum vulgare
L.) plants is described. Immature zygotic embryos, young callus, and
microspore-derived embryos were bombarded with a plasmid containing bar and
uidA either alone or in combination with another plasmid containing a
barley yellow dwarf virus coat protein (BYDVcp) gene. A total of 91
independent bialaphos-resistant callus lines expressed functional
phosphinothricin acetyltransferase, the product of bar. Integration of bar
was confirmed by DNA hybridization in the 67 lines analyzed.
Co-transformation frequencies of 84 and 85% were determined for the two
linked genes (bar and uidA) and for two unlinked genes (bar and the BYDVcp
gene), respectively. More than 500 green, fertile, transgenic plants were
regenerated from 36 transformed callus lines on bialaphos-containing
medium; albino plants only were regenerated from 41 lines. T0 plants in 25
lines (three plants per line) were analyzed by DNA hybridization, and all
contained bar. Most contained the same integration patterns for the
introduced genes (bar, uidA, and the BYDVcp gene) as their parental callus
lines. Transmission of the genes to T1 progeny was confirmed in the five
families analyzed by DNA hybridization. A germination test of immature T1
embryos on bialaphos-containing medium was useful for selecting individuals
that were actively expressing bar, although this was not a good indicator
of the presence or absence of bar. Expression of bar in some progeny plants
was indicated by resistance to the herbicide Basta. The T1 plants were in
soil approximately 7 months after bombardment of the immature embryo.
