The creating of new glypbosateresistant plants would increase the available choices for planting and lower the price of genetically modified crop seeds. A novel G6 gene from Pseudomonas putida that encoded 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase （EPSPS） was previously isolated. The G6 gene was transfected into rice via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The transgenic rice obtained was confirmed by PCR, Southern, and Western blots. The lab experiment and field trials further confirmed that the transgenic rice can survive glyphosate spraying at a dose of 8 g L^-1. In contrast, conventional rice was killed at a weed control glyphosate spray dose of 1 g L^-1. Altogether, the present study showed that the G6 gene works well in rice in vivo for glyphosate-resistance.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
