Abstract

Genetic transformation of inbred maize lines and F1 hybrids registered in Ukraine has been carriedout. The study employed a biolistic method for genetic transformation of immature maize embryos thatformed callus tissue and the pAHC25 vector containing the genes of phosphinothricin-N-acetyltransferase(bar) and β-glucuronidase (uidA). As a result of the transformation of callus tissue of maize genotypes, linesresistant to phosphinothricin and regenerated plants were obtained. The activity of β-glucuronidase in herbicide-resistant calli was detected. The presence of the bar gene in callus DNA was demonstrated by the PCRmethod. The rate of stable transformation ranged from 2.2 to 30% depending on the genotype. The relationshipbetween the results of transient expression of the β-glucuronidase gene and stable genetic transformationwas observed. The proposed protocol for genetic transformation of maize using the study of transient expressionof the β-glucuronidase gene makes it possible to significantly simplify the process of selecting genotypescompetent for genetic transformation and create transgenic organisms with new traits.
