Abstract
To assay gametoclonal variation in barley, a set of doubled haploid (DH) plants (cv. 'Igri') regenerated from isolated microspore culture by direct embryogenesis, was especially developed. AFLP analysis was performed with eleven enzyme-primer combinations, that represented the study of 719 band polymorphisms. Only one change in the banding pattern was observed, indicating a high degree of genetic stability. An extra band was present in DH lines regenerated from microspores, treated or not with sodium azide, representing a 'hot spot' of instability. The sequence of this band was related to barley 'sukkula' retrotransposon element. Our preliminary results suggest the activation of retrotransposon by barley isolated microspore culture
