ABCDhptuidAmUbi1kb10.08.05.04.13.0Fig. 3. Transgene organization and expression in YXB rice. In a few lines, RCg2/uidA yielded strong activity in the root cap and elongation region of rice stablytransformed via Agrobacterium (A). Roots of some RCg2/uidA-silenced lines (e.g.,YXB37) can be reactivated by AzaC treatment (B). Genomic DNA blot of YXB37showing a low-copy transgene integration event (C). HindIII-digested genomicDNA was blot-analyzed with 32 P-labeled DNA fragments for right border (hpt), leftborder (mUbi1), and internal (uidA) sequences. Metaphase chromosomes showingFISH localization of the RCg2/uidA transgene: digoxygenin (DIG)-labeled T-DNA of pYXB was hybridized to the chromosomes and detected by Cy3 (red spots,indicated by yellow arrows) on 4’, 6-diamidine-2’-phenylindole dihydrochloride(DAPI)-stained chromosomes (D).Fu et al (2000b), who studied a rice line biolistically transformed with a threegeneconstruct containing two functional transgenes (hpt, uidA), found that the thirdgene (bar) was inactive as its 35S promoter suffered rearrangement. Using this singleparentplant, the progeny were followed and various silencing effects were claimed.This was not surprising as each of the transgenes contained the 35S promoter, which isknown to be a target for rearrangement or a hot spot for recombination (Kohli et alGene silencing and its reactivation in transgenic rice 471
