Abstract

Barley, a monocotyledonous plant, is relatively recalcitrant to the process of Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. In this study, seedlings of six barley cultivars (Keunal-1-Ho, Saessal, Ol, Saechalssal, Seodunchal and Pungsanchalssal) were injured using alkali, oxidizing or reducing agents. They were then transformed using Agrobacterium via vacuum infiltration for the analysis of comparative GUS gene expression. It was determined that chemical injuries causing a slight growth retardation could overall enhance the GUS transformation rate. Hydrogen peroxide was determined to be the most effective.

단자엽 식물인 보리는 Agrobacterium을 이용한 형질전환이 비교적 까다로운 편이다. 본 연구에서는 큰알1호, 내쌀보리, 올보리, 새찰쌀보리, 서둔찰보리, 풍산찰쌀보리의 유묘에 알칼리, 산화제, 환원제 등을 처리하여 화학적 상처를 유발하였으며 이들에 감압진공을 이용한 Agrobacterium 형질전환을 실시한 후 GUS 유전자발현을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 보리묘 생육을 일부 저하시킬 수 있는 농도의 화학물질 처리는 각기 다른 보리 품종의 형질전환율을 전반적으로 증대시킬 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 화학물 중에서는 특히 hydrogen peroxide 처리가 비교적 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
