Effects of simulated drift of glyphosate, imazethapyr, glufosinate, and imazamox to non-transgenic rice
Four studies were conducted at the LSU AgCenter Rice Research Station near Crowley, Louisiana to evaluate the effects of simulated herbicide drift on ‘Cocodrie’ rice. Herbicides were applied at 6.3 and 12.5% of the labeled usage rate of 863 g ae/ha of glyphosate, 70 g ai/ha of imazethapyr, 493 g …

Transgenic Rice in Asia: A General Equilibrium Assessment of Potential Welfare Effects and Regional Distribution
… technology between favorable and unfavorable rice environments in Asia can widen if future transgenic rice varieties cannot be adopted in less favored regions. This study investigates the potential economic impacts of three transgenic rice technologies: stemborer resistance, for favorable …

An Ex Ante Analysis of the Effects of Transgenic Rice on Farm Households’ Nutritional Vulnerability in Bangladesh
… about 8.5 million farmers in 21 countries grew transgenic crops. Transgenic rice has not been commercially released on a large scale, but progress has been made in developing varieties with potential to increase yield and reduce input costs. In this context, this research aims to provide …

Evaluation of the Recombination Efficiencies of FLP Proteins
… its recombination efficiency, particularly in rice, a model crop plant. Some studies using FLP/FRT systems, with the wild type FLP called FLPwt recombinase, reported low efficiency for regular application of the system in removal of transgenic locus. However, two improved versions of FLPwt: …

Studies on rice transformation and the use of transformed plants [electronic resource]
… of the Liberty herbicide resistance transgene in rice. Non-lethal methods to determine the sensitivity of transgenic rice plants to hygromycin B and Liberty were developed, tested and used in this research. Four homozygous transformed plants were selected to make reciprocal crosses with their …

Improving salt stress resistance in cereals
… in important agricultural cereal crops, i.e. rice and barley. Transgenic lines overexpressing OsTPKa, OsTPKb and OsAKT1 were generated using Agrobacterium mediated rice transformation, while for OsAKT1 a loss of function mutant was also isolated. Transgenic and mutant plants were characterized …

Identification of a gene that makes-plants-gigantic-1: characterization of mpg1, a novel mutant of rice
… the overexpression of sucrose transport in rice phloem. The hypothesis simply suggested transporting more carbon (sucrose) from leaf tissue to heterotrophic tissues in the plant would increase the biomass of individual plants. Rice was used in these experiments because it is a model grass …
