• Transposon-mediated generation of T-DNA- and marker-free rice plants expressing a Bt endotoxin gene (2002, background): “Insect pest resistance mediated by expression of cry endotoxin genes has been early and extensively investigated in japonica and indica rices (Tyagi and Mohanty (2000), for review), including a recent successful field trial of an elite hybrid cultivar (Tu et al. 2001).”
• Field evaluation and risk assessment of transgenic indica basmati rice (2004, background): “Thus different lines experienced different temperatures at the grain ripening stage, which slightly changed their physiochemical properties Stansel 1965; Nikuni et al. 1996; Resurrecion et al. 1997.”
• Development of insect-resistant transgenic indica rice with a synthetic cry1C* gene (2006, methodology): “commonly used Bt genes in transgenic crops, including rice, are cry1Ab, cry1Ac, and fusion gene cry1Ac/cry1Ab (Fujimoto et al. 1993; Nayak et al. 1996; Wünn et al. 1996; Ghareyazie et al. 1997; Wu et al. 1997; Cheng et al. 1998; Datta et al. 1998; Alam et al. 1999; Tu et al. 2000; Wang et al. 2002).”
• A field study of pollen-mediated gene flow from Mediterranean GM rice to conventional rice and the red rice weed (2004, background): “Though the number of field trials of transgenic rice have been so far limited to a few traits Oard et al. 1996; Tu et al. 2000a, b a very diverse range of genetically engineered traits has already been introduced into rice recently reviewed in Tyagi and Mohanty 2000 .”
• Advances in Transgenic Rice Biotechnology (2007, background): “Successful field performance of rice expressing fusion gene derived from cry1Ab and cry1Ac (Tu et al., 2000), cry1Ab (Wu G et al., 2002; Ye et al., 2001; 2003), cry1Ac and cry2A (Bashir et al., 2004) and cry1B and cry1Aa (Breitler et al., 2004b) have been reported.”
• Linear transgene constructs lacking vector backbone sequences generate transgenic rice plants which accumulate higher levels of proteins conferring insect resistance (2002, background): “Field trials with rice expressing Bt toxin have shown a high level of protection against yellow stem borer and leaf folder (Tu et al. 2000).”
• What it will take to Feed 5.0 Billion Rice consumers in 2030 (2005, background): “Bt rices have also been tested under field conditions in China ( Tu et al., 2000 ) and showed excellent resistance to diverse populations of stemborer.”
