The creating of new glyphosateresistantplants would increase the available choices for planting and lower the price of genetically modified crop seeds.A novel G6 gene from Pseudomonas putida that encoded 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) waspreviously isolated. The G6 gene was transfected into rice via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The transgenicrice obtained was confirmed by PCR, Southern, and Western blots. The lab experiment and field trials further confirmedthat the transgenic rice can survive glyphosate spraying at a dose of 8 g L-1. In contrast, conventional rice was killed ata weed control glyphosate spray dose of 1 g L-1. Altogether, the present study showed that the G6 gene works well in ricein vivo for glyphosate-resistance. %U https://www.chinaagrisci.com/Jwk_zgnykxen/EN/10.1016/S1671-2927(11)60123-5
