In this study we studied the factors influencing the callus induction from mature embryos of maize inbred lines Qi 319, Zhen 58, Chang 7-2, Lx 9801 and 81162, such as genotype, combination of plant growth regulators, and low-temperature pretreatment. The results showed that the induction rate of Qi 319 was the highest among the four genotypes tested; combination of 4.0 mg/L 2,4-D + 0.5 mg/L 6-BA was suitable for inducing callus from mature embryos; three days of 4℃ pretreatment can promote the callus induction significantly. The indices optimized in the present study are helpful for establishing genetic transformation system in maize without considering seasonal variation.
