dc.descriptionWe present an improved analysis of the constraints on the first two Gegenbauer moments, $a^π_2$ and $a^π_4$, of the pion's leading-twist distribution amplitude from a QCD light-cone sum rule analysis of $B\toπ$ weak transition form factor $f_{+}(q^2)$. Proper chiral current is adopted in QCD light-cone sum rule so as to eliminate the most uncertain twist-3 contributions to $f_{+}(q^2)$, and then we concentrate our attention on the properties of the leading-twist pion DA. A nearly model-independent $f_+(q^2)$ as shown in Ref.\cite{pball0} that is based on the spectrum of $B\toπlν$ decays from BaBar, together with their uncertainties, are adopted as the standard shape for $f_+(q^2)$ to do our discussion. From a minimum $χ^2$-fit and by taking the theoretical uncertainties into account, we obtain $a^π_2(1GeV)=0.17^{+0.15}_{-0.17}$ and $a^π_4(1GeV)=-0.06^{+0.20}_{-0.22}$ at the $1σ$ confidence level for $m^*_b\in[4.7,4,8] GeV$.
