were measured, and five plants were chosen randomly
in each line and investigated plant height, heading
stages, tillers per plant, grains per plant, 1000-grain
weight, yield per plant, spikelet fertility, and grains
per tillers.
Authors’contributions
LX conducted the major part of this study including experimental design,
maker assisted selection, and manuscript preparation. YZ contributed the
donor materials of Minghui 63 with genes of cry1C*, cry1Ac and cry2A*.
GGJ’s work is field management. LYJ is the person who have the patents of
the genes of cry1C*,and cry2A. Both ZXP and YJY are help to do marker
selection. HYQ’s contribute are experimental design and manuscript
preparation. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
