(a) PCR analysis of transgenic T0
indica generation plants. M, Trans2K Plus DNA Marker; lane 1, untransformed MH86; lane 2 to 29, represents transgenic events P1-P28. (b) expression of aroAJ. sp cDNA in transgenic rice plants. Upper, Lanes 1 to 22, represents transgenic plants PP1-PP22, N, the non-transgenic rice control plant. Nether, the actin gene amplified from all the tested samples. (c) Southern blot analysis of transgenic T0
indica plants of cv. MH86 with Hind III digestion. N, untransformed MH86; lane 1–15, different transgenic lines, corresponding sample numbers were marked. (d) Southern blot analysis of transgenic T2
indica generation plants with SacI digestion. Lane 1, untrasformed MH86; lane 2–5, confirmed single copy, corresponding sample numbers were marked. (e) glyphosate tolernace of T2 transgenic rice plants under different glyphosate dosages. T2 rice seeds were germinated in field and grown to tillering stage. 0 g/ha, 210 g/ha, 420 g/ha, 840 g/ha, 1680 g/ha and 3360 g/ha glyphosate (the corresponding applied concentration of glyphosate to each dosage was 0 mg/L, 187.5 mg/L, 375 mg/L, 750 mg/L, 1500 mg/L and 3000 mg/L) were sprayed on ME1 and ME2 transgenic lines along with non-transformed control plant and photograph was taken 1 week after spray. ME1-P and ME2-P represent the homozygous transgenic lines of ME1 and ME2, while ME1-N and ME2-N are their corresponding negative transgenic lines. (f) glyphosate tolerance test of T4 generation seedlings of ME1 line. The 28-day-old ME1 T4 generation seedlings were transplanted in the field with weeds and sprayed with 840 g/ha glyphosate (the corresponding applied concentration of glyphosate was 840 mg/L). Photographs were taken by Y.C. at day 0, 7 and 15 after spray. (g) Selection of homozygous line by glyphosate. Homozyous (HO), heterzygous (HE) T2 transgenic rice plants along with untransformed control plants (N) were sprayed with 1% (vol/vol) solution of the herbicide Roundup containing 41% isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, and photograph was taken by Y.C. at 3 d after spray.
