Abstract: In order to obtain transgenic plants of resistant drought,by comparative analysis on the different explant tissues,concentrations of Agrobacterium and kanamycin,time of inoculation and coculture,etc,an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation for an alfalfa variety Zhongmu No. 2 was established. On the basis of the transformation,?dehydrin of Ammopiptanthus mongolicus was transformated into genome of Zhongmu No. 2 by A. tumefaciens-mediated. The results showed that cotyledon and hypocotyl was the best explant for callus induction and transformation.?The optimal kanamycin concentration for selection of resistant callus and transgenic plant was 25 mg/L in the selection medium. The explants and bacteria was cocultured for 5 d. One hundred and twenty-six independent resistant?plants were obtained,30 plants were confirmed to be transgenic by PCR amplification of AmDHN gene and 35S?gene.

Key words: Alfalfa, Genetic transformation, Dehydrin
