Overexpression of epsps transgene in weedy rice: insufficient evidence to support speculations about biosafety.
- Biology, MedicineThe New phytologist
- 2014
There is a lack of evidence in the paper that the EPSPS transgene confers glyphosate resistance, or that the transgenic weedy rice is more competitively fit than its wild type in the absence of glyphosate treatment, and the findings are not as novel as the authors imply.
Howwas the glyphosate-resistant transgenic line that overexpressed epsps developed ?

Gressel et al. (2014; in this issue of New Phytologist, pp. 360–362) disapprove of media coverage of our recent peer-reviewed paper (Wang et al., 2014; this issue ofNewPhytologist, pp. 679–683), and…
Overexpressing Exogenous 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase (EPSPS) Genes Increases Fecundity and Auxin Content of Transgenic Arabidopsis Plants

The results from Arabidopsis with nine transgenic events provide a strong support to the hypothesis that transgenic plants overproducing EPSPS can benefit from a fecundity advantage in glyphosate-free environments.

It is hypothesized that over-expressed epsps may be useful to breeders and, if deployed, could result in fitness benefits in weedy relatives following transgene introgression.
