    Abstract:
    The plasmid p13W8 carrying antisense fragment of waxy gene and plasmid pCAMBIA1300 containing hpt gene were introduced into rice by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated co-transformation, and 86 transgenic plants were obtained, 32 of them showed positive bands for antisense waxy gene by PCR analysis, the waxy-positive plant frequency is 37.2%. The segregation of antisense fragment of waxy gene and hpt gene was observed by PCR using hpt gene primers and waxy gene primers respectively in 29 T(1) population. One hundred and eighty-three plants containing only the antisense fragment of waxy gene were identified in 1 264 T(1) plants, the waxy-positive plant frequency is 14.4% (Table 1). The amylose content of seeds derived from transgenic plants with only the antisense fragment of waxy gene were determined, varying degrees of reduction in amylose content were found in some plants (Table 2). Four T(1) plants with reduced amylose content were selected through anther culture. Thirty-four anther culture plants seed normally, 23 of them were shown to contain only the antisense fragment of waxy gene (Table 3) by PCR analysis, and the amylose content was reduced to 5%-12% (Table 4). It took only one and half years to obtain the stably inherited markerless transgenic rice with reduced amylose content by co-transformation and anther culture technique.
