Introduced transgenes, uidA, sgfp (S65T) and/or bar, were localized using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on metaphase chromosomes of transgenic barley produced by microparticle bombardment of immature embryos. Of the 19 independent transgenic lines (eight diploid and 11 tetraploid), nine had uidA and ten had s gfp (S65T). All lines tested had three or more copies of the transgenes and 18 out of 19 lines had visibly different integration sites. At a gross level, it appeared that no preferential integration sites of foreign DNA among chromosomes were present in the lines tested; however, a distal preference for transgene integration was observed within the chromosome. In diploid T0 plants that gave a 3:1 segregation ratio of transgene expression in the T1, only single integration sites were detected on one of the homologous chromosomes. Homozygous diploid plants had doublet signals on a pair of homologous chromosomes. All tetraploid T0 plants that gave a 3:1 segregation ratio in the T1 generation had only a single integration site on one of the homologous chromosomes. In contrast, the single tetraploid T0 plant with a 35:1 segregation ratio in the T1 generation had doublet signals on a pair of homologous chromosomes. In the one tetraploid T0 line, which had a homozygote-like segregation ratio (45:0), there were doublet signals at two loci on separate chromosomes. We conclude that the application of FISH for analysis of transgenic plants is useful for the gross localization of transgene(s) and for early screening of homozygous plants.
