Abstract: In this study 128 transgenic maize seeds that were obtained from transgenic plants transformed by pollen-mediated approach on maize(Zea mays L.) inbred line Hai 92-1,the vector was plasmid pGL II-RC-1.The result of seeds selected by hygromycin-screening had proved that 16 plants was hygromycin-resistant plants.Statistics analysis for the hygromycin-resistant plants suggested that single copy of the chintinase gene was transferred into the cell of majority of T-(0) transgenic plants,segregation ratio of the progeny of transgenic plants for hygromycin resistant and susceptible was about 3:1,P<0.01.The results of detecting to T-1 transgenic plants by PCR amplification and PCR Southern blot hybridization showed that chitinase gene was transferred into the cells of transgenic plants.The same methods detected to T2 and T3,their results indicated that chitinase gene was integrated into the genome of transgenic plants and stable inheritance in transgenic plants and their progeny.The results of Bio-assay for head smut-resistance activity indicated that the disease incidence of transgenic plants and their progeny was lower than that of control plants.Based on the results above,GH05024 and GH05028.2 transgenic maize lines that resisted to maize head smut were obtanined by breeding selection.
