Glyphosate resistance and no fitness cost in backcross offspring of wild soybean and transgenic soybean with epsps gene.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The commercial utilization of genetically modified soybeans has yielded substantial economic advantages. Nevertheless, the genetic drift towards wild soybeans is one of the main ecological risks that needs to be addressed. Previous experiments demonstrated the absence of fitness cost or florescence overlap in hybrid offspring resulting from the crossbreeding of transgenic soybean GTS40-3-2 and Zhengzhou wild soybeans. In this study, hybrid progeny was systematically crossed with wild soybeans to establish a backcross progeny system. This system was employed to evaluate the ecological risk associated with the backcross progeny of transgenic and wild soybeans.

Results

The findings indicated that the offspring from the backcross exhibited glyphosate tolerance. Furthe
