Abstract

●
With the rapid development of new breeding techniques, the ecological impacts of transgenic plants receive wide concern again, particularly for potential gene flow from transgenic crops to their relatives. The transgene insertion position, number of gene copies, and flanking sequence of exogenous genes integrated into the recipient genome affect the genetic stability and fitness of offspring.

●
We employed hybrids F₁ and F₂, six backcross generations BC₁-BC₆ and BC₁F₁ from transgenic Brassica napus with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cry1Ac gene and its wild relative B. juncea through hand pollination. We detected exogenous gene copies, mRNA transcription, and protein expression by ddPCR, qRT-PCR and ELISA, and the fitness of hybrid and backcross generations.

●
Exogenous genes followed Mendelian segregation expectations in hybrid and backcrossed generations, with stable gene copies, mRNA transcription and protein concentration of exogenous genes in offspring. Exogenous gene copies had no significant effects on plant fitness, but had positive effects on mRNA transcription and protein concentration that varied with growth stages in hybrid and backcross generations.

●
Our study demonstrated inheritance and ecological effects of exogenous genes from transgenic plants to wild relatives, which will help ecological risk management of biotechnological plants released in the nature.

期刊介绍： Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, research manuscripts as well as commissioned reviews and commentaries recommended by its referees in all areas of experimental plant biology with emphasis in the broad areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry (including enzymology), physiology, cell biology, development, genetics, functional plant breeding, systems biology and the interaction of plants with the environment. Manuscripts for full consideration should be written concisely and essentially as a final report. The main criterion for publication is that the manuscript must contain original and significant insights that lead to a better understanding of fundamental plant biology. Papers centering on plant cell culture should be of interest to a wide audience and methods employed result in a substantial improvement over existing established techniques and approaches. Methods papers are welcome only when the technique(s) described is novel or provides a major advancement of established protocols.
