[Inheritance and expression of the maize pepc gene in progenies of transgenic rice bred by crossing].

By cross breeding, the maize pepc gene in the pepc transgenic rice was successfully incorporated into the parents of two-, three-line hybrid rice, including sterile lines (Peiai64S, 2302S, 2304S, 2306S and Shuangjiu A) and restorer lines (5129, 02428 and Wanjing97) to breed the high-photosynthetic efficiency parents of hybrid rice and utilize heterosis between C4 and C4/C3 rice. Some lines of pepc transgenic rice (LPTR) have been developed. The study on the generations of LPTR suggests the following: (1) The segregation observed in F2 and BC1 progenies demonstrated that pepc transgene inherited as a single dominant gene in the progenies of LPTR.
