Functional analysis of transgenic cry1Ah-1 maize. (PubMed, Microb Pathog) - "In order to address this issue, the cry1Ah gene was subjected to error-prone PCR for mutagenesis, and subsequently, the mutant cry1Ah-1 gene was introduced into maize inbred line GSH9901 callus using the Agrobacterium-mediated method...The biological activities of OE1 and OE3 were tested indoors and in the field, and the results showed that in indoors, the corn borer that fed on OE1 and OE3 corn leaves had a mortality rate of 100 % after 3 days; in the field, OE1 and OE3 had strong insecticidal activity against corn borer, reaching a high resistance level. In conclusion, the transgenic cry1Ah-1 maize has a strong insecticidal effect on corn borer, and has a good prospect of commercialization."

Improvement of cold tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.) using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of ZmSAMDC gene. (PubMed, GM Crops Food) - "We used Agrobacterium-mediated transformation technology to introduce the SAMDC gene into an excellent maize inbred line variety GSH9901 and produced a cold-tolerant transgenic maize line...However, no significant changes were found in plant height, ear length, and shaft thickness. Therefore, SAMDC enzymes can effectively improve the cold tolerance of maize."
