Abstract:

In order to study the genetic stability and insect resistance of transgenic maize HGK60 under different genetic backgrounds, HGK60 transgenic maize harboring Bt cry1Ah gene was used as donor, and the cry1Ah gene was introduced into inbred line Zheng 58, Chang 7-2, lx05-4 and lx03-2 by successive backcrossing respectively, and transgenic maize inbred line HGK60-Zheng 58, HGK60-Chang 7-2, HGK60-lx03-2, and HGK60-lx05-4 were acquired. The hybrid line HGK60-zhengdan 958(HGK60-Zheng 58 with HGK60-Chang 7-2)and HGK60-Ludan 9066(HGK60-lx03-2 with HGK60-lx05-4)were obtained by crossing. The foreign cry1Ah gene was confirmed to be transferred into the maize with different genetic background by event-special PCR detection. The expressions of Cry1Ah proteins in the transgenic maize leaves of the inbred and hybrid lines under different genetic backgrounds were insignificantly different by ELISA detection. Bioassay in field and in laboratory showed that the transgenic maize with different genetic backgrounds had same high resistance to Asia corn borer, and the mortality rate reached 100% at 4 d after indoor inoculation. The agronomic traits of the transgenic maize HGK60 with different genetic backgrounds demonstrated that there was no significant difference in agronomic traits between the transgenic maize and the non-transgenic control maize, and transgenic maize HGK60 may be used for the breeding of insect-resistant maize varieties.

Key words: transgenic maize, cry1Ah gene, different genetic background, insect resistance, agronomic traits
