dc.description.abstract Elite white maize lines W506 and M37W were transformed with a selectable marker gene (bar) and a reporter gene (uidA) or the polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (pgip) gene after bombardment of cultured immature zygotic embryos using the particle inflow gun. Successful transformation with this device did not require a narrow range of parameters, since transformants were obtained from a wide range of treatments, namely pre-culture of the embryos for 4-6 days, bombardment at helium pressures of 700-900 kPa, selection-free culture for 2-4 days after bombardment and selection on medium containing bialaphos at 0.5-2 mg l(-1). However, bombardments with helium pressures below 700 kPa yielded no transformants. The culture of immature zygotic embryos of selected elite white maize lines on medium containing 2 mg l(-1) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 20 MM L-proline proved to be most successful for the production of regenerable embryogenic calli and for the selection of putative transgenic calli on bialaphos-containing medium after transformation. Transgenic plants were obtained from four independent transformation events as confirmed by Southern blot analysis. Transmission of the bar and uidA genes to the T-4 progeny of one of these transformation events was demonstrated by Southern blot analysis and by transgene expression. In this event, the transgenes bar and uidA were inserted in tandem. en_US
