According to the experimental results, both the tiller number and fresh weight of Bt transgenic rice plants under low insect- infestation pressure showed no significant differences compared with the control, but the plant height, spike length and spike weight were all lower than those of non- transgenic rice plant, and Bt63 and R2 were significantly different compared with the control. On the contrary, under high insect-infestation pressure, the tiller number, spike length and spike weight of three Bt transgenic rice cultivars were significantly higher than those of the control, while the plant height showed different fitness ef- fects among various transgenic rice cultivars, which might be related to the charac- teristics of the receptive cultivars. The individual filled grain number and 1 000-grain weight of three transgenic rice cultivars showed no significant difference compared with the control under two different insect-infestation pressures, suggesting that the effect of exogenous Bt gene on seed setting was not significant.
