Abstract: Aiming at the transgenic maize based on RNAi technology,this paper studied and established a set of reverse transcription chip digital PCR(dPCR)method of quantitatively detecting dsRNA in this transgenic maize. The research contents mainly included exploration and optimization of RNA extraction methods,primer probe design,reverse transcription method,dPCR reaction conditions and compositions,etc. The limit of absolute quantification of this method is 2.5 copies/μL,and the RSD is 12.4%. The relative deviation is 2.7%,and the RSD is 14.6%. When detecting the actual sample of low concentration is 21.7 copies/μL,which meets the international requirement of transgenic quantitative result RSD≤25%. Applying the method in the quantitative detection of genetically modified crops based on RNAi technology will provide accurate and reliable technical means for the safety evaluation of related genetically modified crops in China.

Key words: RNAi, digital PCR, genetically modified maize
