superscript and subscript the same character in an expression

In a plot I would like a title which should have:

the string "my title is" followed by the caharecter alpha raised by ' (i.e. alpha prime) with alpha also having the subscript G.

I tried:

expression(paste("my title is ",alpha^{"'"}[G],")"))

but the above code raises alpha to the power 'G . How do I superscript the ' but subscript the G ?

Either of the following would do the trick:

alpha[G]^"'"
{alpha^{"'"}}[G]

They are typeset slightly differently, so pick whichever you prefer.

Changing the syntax to the following works:

expression(paste("my title is ",alpha[G]^{"'"},")")))
