Abstract:The concentrations of Cry1Ab insecticidal protein expressed in pollens of transgenic Bt rice KMD1 and KMD2 from a commercial Chinese japonica rice variety Xiushui 11 (XS11), contain a synthetic cry1Ab gene from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Berliner, were detected by enzyme immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the QuantiplateTM kit for Bt Cry1Ab protein. The results showed that the pollens of KMD1 and KMD2 can express Cry1Ab protein highly. Newly emerged Chrysoperla sinica Tjeder adults were provided with three different artificial diets (dry yeast powder-sugar mixture) which contained 5% pollens of KMD1, KMD2 and the control rice line XS11, respectively, and their preovipositional period, fecundity, ovipositional days and longevity were observed. The results showed that none of these parameters differed significantly among the three pollen treatments, even if the proportion of pollen in the artificial diets increased to 20% and 80%. This indicated that the insecticidal protein Cry1Ab in pollens of KMD1 and KMD2 had no significant negative effects on the reproduction and adult longevity of C.sinica.
