| Abstract: |
| In order to investigate the effects of transgenic Cry1c rice 1c-5 on the safety of nontarget soil organisms, Folsomia candida and Eisenia fetida were studied as environmental bio-indicators. Under indoor conditions, both organisms were fed with leaves of transgenic rice 1c-5 and nontransgenic rice Jigeng88 as a control during the entire growth period. During this period, the survival rate and body length of F. candida as well as the survival, reproduction, and weight change rates of E. fetida were investigated. The results showed that lc-5 had no significant effect on the growth of both organisms, as compared with that of the nontransgenic control. Thus, we concluded that the transgenic rice line 1c-5 did not pose an ecological risk to F. candida and E. fetida following short-term exposure. |
