AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF TRANSGENIC RICE WITH ENHANCED PHOSPHATE UPTAKE ABILITY BY OVER-EXPRESSED TOBACCO HIGH AFFINITY PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine phosphate (Pi) accumulation and performance of agronomic traits of transgenic rice overexpressing a tobacco high affinity phosphate transporter (NtPT1) gene. Transgenic plants containing one copy of NtPT1 transgene were selected and advanced to T3 generation based on the stability of inheritance and expression of the transgene. Performance of major agronomic traits was examined for the 19 selected T3 transgene-homozygous lines. In the transgenic line 1-7-8, seed phosphorous (P) content
