Abstract: Transgenic maize GH5112E-117C is a new strain with mG2-aroA gene and mcry1Ah genes and developed by Beijing Origen Company. It is resistant to lepidopteran pests such as corn borer and armyworm,and it is tolerant to glyphosate- herbicide. Thus this strain has important industrial application prospects in China. A qualitative PCR assay for transgenic maize GH5112E-117C was developed in this paper. The assay had promising specificity to detect the transgenic maize GH5112E-117C with resistance to insects and tolerance to herbicide. At a concentration of 0.2 μmol/L primer,TaqDNA polymerase 0.625 U,DNA template 50 ng,and an annealing temperature of 58℃,the detection sensitivity of the assay stably achieved to 0.1%. This assay provides a new technical means for accurately testing insect- and herbicide-resistant transgenic maize GH5112E-117C,which provides the technical support for transgenic supervision in agriculture.
