Abstract
Fertile transgenic barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants were obtained by high velocity particle bombardment. The plasmid pBCl was used to deliver the selectable hph gene and reporter Gus gene into immature embryo. After the selection culture 18 hygromycin resistant plants were obtained. Samples for Southern hybridization and enzymatic Gus assay were obtained from 11 plants. Southern hybridization confirmed the presence of the hph gene in the 11 hygromycin resistant plants(T0). Enzymatic assay indicated that all the t0 plants that showed hph positive in Southern analysis possessed detectable amount of Gus activity. To date all the 11 t0 plants reached maturity and mature seeds were obtained Transmission of the hph gene to progeny(T1) of two independent t0 plants was confirmed by Southern hybridization.
