PG - 697-705 AB - Four doubled haploid barley lines (A, C, D, E) derived from gfp (green fluorescent protein) transformation and selection following particle bombardment of microspores were studied for gene expression pattern and the location of genome inserts. The integration sites were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using the gfp plasmid DNA as a probe. Plants from events A, C, D and E all have a single insert site on chromosome 7L(5HL) at different locations while line E has a second insert site on chromosome 5S(7HS). All original transgenic plants were hemizygous for the transgenes and segregated in the T1 and T2 generations. Although line D had no GFP expression, FISH and PCR could detect gfp gene on its chromosome in transformed plants. Expression levels of GFP varied with lines and tissues examined. Plants from line C showed good expression in pollen and an intermediate level in root tips. Plants from A have intermediate expression of GFP in the pollen and light expression in the root tips. Line E showed strong expression in the root-tips and an intermediate level of GFP in the pollen. Lines A and C segregated as a single Mendelian locus while E segregated in a duplicate loci ratio (15:1) on seedling root tips but had low expression frequency in the pollen. PCR results were consistent with GFP expression on root tips in the three segregating lines. The expression of GFP for lines D and E was abnormal and may be related to the physical location of the transgene or the gene construct used.
