TL;DR: In laboratory bioassays, 100% mortality was observed in all insect species when their newly hatched or third-instar larvae were fed KMD1 leaf tissues, which disclosed that the transgenic line was highly resistant to a broad spectrum of lepidopteran insect species and could be useful in insect resistance breeding programs.

TL;DR: Field-release experiments indicated that the cry1Ab gene was stably transmitted in an intact manner via successive sexual generations, and the concentration of the Cry1Ab protein was kept quantitatively stable up to the R6 generation.

TL;DR: Several QTLs with important effects on the variations in the measured parameters were detected in the present study which have not been found in earlier reports based on populations derived from parents with different AAC and wxgene alleles.

TL;DR: The findings reveal that OsSULTR3;3 plays an important role in grain metabolism, pointing to a new route to generate value-added grains in rice and other cereal crops.

TL;DR: The agronomic and morphological characteristics of Agrobacterium-transformed rice plants carrying the synthetic cry1Ab or cry1Ac gene were investigated and marked differences among them in terms of seedling growth, tillering ability, yield components and yield potential were displayed.
