Scientific Digest
Transformation Of Barley (Hordeum Vulgare) Using The Wheat Puroindoline Gene
by Yusuke Odake
ABSTRACT
Feed and malting barley are major crops in Montana. Harrington, a two-rowed
spring malting barley variety, is the most cultivated variety in the state. Barley was the
last of the world’s major cereals for which transformation methods were developed
because in vitro-cultured barley rapidly loses regeneration ability or gives rise to albino
plants during selection for transformed tissue. Previous research used the variety Golden
Promise because it regenerates well under research conditions, though it is not
commercially used. Transformation could be an important method to improve varieties in
North American barley cultivars. The puroindoline proteins (PINA and PINB) can be
isolated from wheat endosperm and are basic cysteine and tryptophan-rich proteins that
might play a role in defense against pathogens. The puroindolines show antifungal
activity both in vitro and in vivo. Milk stage seeds were harvested to obtain embryos.
Embryos were placed on induction media [2.5 mg/L 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4-D) and 0.01 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP)] for 12 to 51days until calli formed.
The biolistic method was chosen for transmitting the gene of interest into the calli, using
a Biolistic PDS-1000/He Particle Delivery System (BioRad, Hercules, CA) with 900 psi
rupture disks. Approximately 4,500 calli were bombarded with two plasmids; pinA driven
by the maize ubiquitin promoter (Ubi1) which is expressed constitutively, and the
hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph), which confers hygromycin B resistance and is
driven by the CaMV 35S promoter for selection. The bombarded calli were selected on
medium containing 30 mg/L Hygromycin B for 9 to 21 days, and subcultured to
intermediate medium (1.0mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BAP), followed by regeneration
media (1.0-3.0 mg/L BAP). Thirty hygromycin B resistant calli regenerated and 5 died in
magenta box. Thirty five putative transgenic plants derived from 25 calli grew in soil and
were harvested. Some plants tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tested positive
with primers for pinA and hph. Southern blots were performed to detect the presence of
hph in T1 barley genomic DNA but were negative. Northern blots performed to detect the
presence of pinA and hph transcribed RNA in the T1leaf tissue were also negative,
showing that no stably transformed plants were obtained.
