[Method] Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure Bt protein expression in different tissues of transgenic pest-resistant rice at same growth stage. [Result] Absolute content of Bt protein from high to low was as follows： leaves 〉 immature seeds and glumes 〉 roots 〉 stems in different tissues of transgenic rice in grain-filling stage; Bt protein content of trans- genic rice changed a little in different growth stages （including tillering stage, booting stage, and grain-filling stage）; in general, its level declined a little in later growth stage, but the resistibility would not be influenced significantly. [Conclusion] The ex- periment is significant for pest prevention and transgenic rice breeding.展开更多

The supercooIing point and freezing point of oriental migratory Iocust was de-termined using supercooIing point meter. The resuIts showed that the supercooIing points of fourth instar Iarvae, fifth instar Iarvae, male aduIts and female aduIts, which were al fed with Bt-transgenic rice, were -5.89, -7.59, -6.64 and -6.79, respectiveIy. There were no significant differences between treatment and controI groups.展开更多

A Rice （Oryza sativa L.） containing gene from Bacillus thuringiensis, a soil bacterium, was assessed to study the potential risks of transgenic plants on environment. The crop was found resistant to target insect pests. Rice variety Basmati-370 transformed with two insecticidal genes, crylAc and cry2A, was grown under field conditions for several years. Data were collected at different stages of the plant growth. Fate of Cry protein in soil, effect of Bt protein on non-target insects, risks of vertical and horizontal gene flow were evaluated. No potential hazard was found at all levels. Bt protein was unstable and degraded significantly in soil within 30 days after harvesting the crop. No harmful effects were found on non-target insects （insects other than order lepidoptera）. Maximum gene flow of 0.02% was observed at close spacing and no evidence of horizontal gene transfer to Rhizobium spp. was found. In conclusion, the transgenic rice plants transformed with Bt genes have no harmful effects on the environment.展开更多

In this study, two Bacillus thuringiensis （Bt） insecticidal genes, CrylAc and Cryllg, and a modified glyphosate-tolerant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase （EPSPS） gene （GIO） were combined into a single transferred DNA （T-DNA） fragment and introduced into rice by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A transgenic line with single-copy T-DNA insertion named GAI-14 was found to be highly resistant to striped stem borer and rice leaf roller, and tolerant to glyphosate. Analysis of T-DNA border sequence suggested that the transgenes were inserted at the chromosome 3 and appeared to have not interrupted any known or putative genes. A field trial observed no significant difference in the basic agronomic traits between GAI-14 and the recipient rice.展开更多
