Abstract: 【Objective】Establish a maize genetic transformation system to cultivate maize lines with herbicide tolerance and address the issue of weed damage in maize.【Methods】Herbicide tolerance gene(CP4-EPSPS)was transformed into immature embryos of maize inbred line B73 by agrobacterium mediated transformation. The transgenic plants were identified by PCR and qRT-PCR. Low copy transgenic events were screened by ddPCR,followed by phosphinothricin tolerance test.【Results】12 of the 181 acquired tolerance lines tested positive. The exogenous herbicide tolerance gene(CP4-EPSPS)of the transgenic plants expressed normally at the transcriptional level. Five low copy lines were selected from the transgenic plants. All the transgenic plants were phosphinothricin tolerant in the tolerance test. T1 seeds from the 5 transgenic low copy lines were harvested.【Conclusion】Established a maize genetic transformation system mediated by Agrobacterium transformation using B73.
