title: Whole genome re-sequencing can improve basis for transgene safety assessments
organism: Oryza sativa
description: The transgenic rice T1c-19 was developed by introducing the Cry1C gene and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (Bar) gene into the Oryza sativa indica cultivar Minghui 63. T1c-19 exhibit high resistance to leaffolders (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis) and yellow stemborer (Tryporyza incertulas). The transgenic rice TT51-1 was co-transformed with two plasmids (pFHBT1 and pGL2RC7) into Minghui 63 by particle bombardment, denoting the high resistance against yellow stem borers and leaf-folders. Both these two transgenic rice events were developed by Huazhong Agricultural University, China. Homogenous seeds of transgenic rice T1c-19, TT51-1, and Non-GM rice Minghui 63 were planted in Wuhan (Hubei province, China) and harvested in September, 2010.
