Improved plant regeneration from barley callus cultures by increased copper levels

Lynn S. Dahleen

Incorporation of cupric sulfate into callus induction, maintenance, and regeneration media significantly enhanced plant regeneration from callus cultures of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) immature embryos. Embryos from the cultivars ‘Hector’ and ‘Excel’ were cultured on MS medium containing 0, 0.1 (MS level), 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 50.0, or 100.0 μM cupric sulfate. Plants were regenerated beginning at 8 weeks and continuing through 36 weeks. For Hector, medium containing 50 μM copper regenerated significantly more plants than any other medium, with an average of 17 plants per embryo. In comparison, medium with MS copper levels (0.1 μM) regenerated only 5 plants per embryo. For Excel, medium containing 5.0 μM copper was the best, regenerating 1.4 plants per embryo. No Excel regenerants were obtained on medium with MS copper levels. Increased copper levels also increased the percentage of embryos that regenerated at least one plant, in both cultivars. The results indicate that MS copper levels are not optimized for barley callus cultures, and that improved plant regeneration can be obtained at higher copper concentrations.

Ethylene influences green plant regeneration from barley callus.

Ajay K. Jha; Lynn S. Dahleen; Jeffrey C. Suttle

The plant hormone ethylene is involved in numerous plant processes including in vitro growth and regeneration. Manipulating ethylene in vitro may be useful for increasing plant regeneration from cultured cells. As part of ongoing efforts to improve plant regeneration from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), we investigated ethylene emanation using our improved system and investigated methods of manipulating ethylene to increase regeneration. In vitro assays of regeneration from six cultivars, involving 10 weeks of callus initiation and proliferation followed by 8 weeks of plant regeneration, showed a correlation between regeneration and ethylene production: ethylene production was highest from ‘Golden Promise’, the best regenerator, and lowest from ‘Morex’ and ‘DH-20’, the poorest regenerators. Increasing ethylene production by addition of 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid (ACC) during weeks 8–10 increased regeneration from Morex. In contrast, adding ACC to Golden Promise cultures during any of the tissue culture steps reduced regeneration, suggesting that Golden Promise may produce more ethylene than needed for maximum regeneration rates. Blocking ethylene action with silver nitrate during weeks 5–10 almost doubled the regeneration from Morex and increased the Golden Promise regeneration 1.5-fold. Silver nitrate treatment of Golden Promise cultures during weeks 8–14 more than doubled the green plant regeneration. These results indicate that differential ethylene production is related to regeneration in the improved barley tissue culture system. Specific manipulations of ethylene were identified that can be used to increase the green plant regeneration from barley cultivars. The timing of ethylene action appears to be critical for maximum regeneration.

Co-bombardment, integration and expression of rice chitinase and thaumatin-like protein genes in barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Conlon)

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins associated with degradation of structural components of pathogenic filamentous fungi were overexpressed in the two-rowed malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar Conlon. Transgenes were introduced by co-bombardment with two plasmids, one carrying a rice (Oryza sativa L.) chitinase gene (chi11) and another carrying a rice thaumatin-like protein gene (tlp). Each gene was under the control of the maize ubiquitin (Ubi1) promoter. Fifty-eight primary transformants from three independent transformation events were regenerated. T1 plants with high rice chi11 and tlp protein expression levels were advanced to identify T2 homozygotes by herbicide spray and subjected to further molecular analyses. T3 progeny from one event (E2) had stable integration and expression of the rice chi11 and tlp while those from the other events (E1 and E3) showed stable integration only of tlp. The successful production of these lines overexpressing the antifungal chi and tlp proteins provides materials to test the effects of these genes on a variety of fungal diseases that attack barley and to serve as potential additional sources of disease resistance.

Recent advances in barley transformation

Lynn S. Dahleen; Muthusamy Manoharan

Barley, an important member of the cereals, has been successfully transformed through various methods such as particle bombardment, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, DNA uptake, and electroporation. Initially, the transformation in barley concentrated on developing protocols using marker genes such as gus, bar, and hpt. Immature embryos and callus derived from immature embryos were targeted for transformation. Subsequently, genes of agronomic and malting importance have been deployed in barley. Particle bombardment appears to be the preferred choice for barley transformation in the majority of the reports, although Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is being used more often. The current review focuses on the challenges encountered in barley transformation such as somaclonal variation, development of transformation systems for commercial cultivars, gene expression, stability and inheritance, and gene flow. Newer markers such as the green fluorescent protein (gfp), firefly luciferase, and phosphomannose isomerase were found to be useful in the selection of transgenic plants. Tissue-specific promoters such as those for B1-hordein and D-hordein genes, and spike-specific promoters, are increasingly used to drive gene expression. The review also describes recent research on gene-tagging through transformation, insertion of disease resistance, and abiotic stress resistance genes, transformation with genes for improved malting quality, nutrient content, feed quality, and the production of feed enzymes and pharmaceutical compounds.

Developing tools for investigating the multiple roles of ethylene: identification and mapping genes for ethylene biosynthesis and reception in barley

Lynn S. Dahleen; Neerja Tyagi; Phil Bregitzer; Ryan H. Brown; William Morgan

The plant hormone ethylene is important to many plant processes from germination through senescence, including responses to in vitro growth and plant regeneration. Knowledge of the number and function of genes that are involved in ethylene biosynthesis and reception is necessary to determine the role of specific genes within gene families known to influence ethylene biosynthesis and other aspects of ethylene function in plants. Our objective was built on previous studies that have established the critical role of ethylene in the in vitro response of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and that have identified ethylene-related QTL in the barley genome. In this study, we have identified the locations of genes in the barley 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS), ACC oxidase (ACO), and ethylene receptor (ETR) gene families. Specific primers for PCR amplification of each gene were developed and used to map these genes in the Oregon Wolf Barley mapping population. Five ACS, 8 ACO, and 7 ETR genes were identified and mapped to six of the barley chromosomes. Gene locations were syntenous to the orthologs in rice except for two that mapped to chromosome 6H. Gene duplication was evident for ACO genes on chromosomes 5H and 6H. Gene-specific primers will be useful for determining expression of each gene under various environmental conditions, including in vitro environments, to better understand the role of ethylene. Of the six known QTL for green plant regeneration in barley, three were located near the genes mapped in this study.
