The evaluation of the inheritance and stability of the transgenes is essential for the application of transgenic plants in agriculture. In this work, we studied the inheritance of two transgenes in T1, T2, T3 and T4 rice progenies. Transgenic rice plants (cv. J-104) was obtained by biolistic method using a synthetic defensin gene (NmDef02) and hpt as selectable marker gene, co-transformed in a 4:1 proportion, respectively. Regenerated plants were acclimated under natural conditions. The study started from the primary transformants that fulfilled the agronomic characters reported by the experts for the J-104 rice cultivar in the maturation stage. The integration and relative expression of NmDef02 in T1 plants was verified by Southern blot and qRT-PCR, respectively. The inheritance of transgenes over four generations was analyzed by PCR. The following transgene combinations were identified: NmDef02(+)hpt(+), NmDef02(+)hpt(-) and NmDef02(-)hpt(-). The most advantageous combination was NmDef02(+)hpt(-), which corresponded to the marker-free plants harboring the gene of interest. The inheritance of NmDef02 was confirmed in T1 and T2 progenies, but in some T3 and T4 lines the loss of this gene was verified. This inheritance analysis provided information concerning the transgenic population, but the mechanisms that destabilize the inheritance of the gene of interest will be the goal of future research.

Activity of the Calvin cycle enzyme sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase; EC3.1.3.37) was increased in the transgenic rice cultivar zhonghua11 (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) by overexpressing OsSbp cDNA from the rice cultivar 9311 (Oryza sativa ssp. indica). This genetic engineering enabled the transgenic plants to accumulate SBPase in chloroplasts and resulted in enhanced tolerance of transgenic rice plants to salt stress at the young seedlings stage. Moreover, CO2 assimilation in transgenic rice plants was significantly more tolerant to salt stress than in wild-type plants. The analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence and the activity of SBPase indicated that the enhancement of photosynthesis in salt stress was not related to the function of PSII but to the activity of SBPase. Western-blot analysis showed that salt stress led to the association of SBPase with the thylakoid membranes from the stroma fractions. However, this association was much more prominent in wild-type plants than in transgenic plants. Results suggested that under salt stress, SBPase maintained the activation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase by providing more regeneration of the acceptor molecule ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate in the soluble stroma and by preventing the sequestration of Rubisco activase to the thylakoid membrane from the soluble stroma, and, thus, enhanced the tolerance of photosynthesis to salt stress. Results suggested that overexpression of SBPase was an effective method for enhanncing salt tolerance in rice.
