To evaluate potential ecological risk of weediness for gene stacked rice B2A68,the survival and reproduction ability,seed shattering,seed germination rate,and seed viability of the transgenic insect-resistant and glufosinate-tolerant rice B2A68 was studied in the field in comparison to glufosinate-tolerant rice Bar-68 and conventional rice Ningjing46( CR). Regardless of being grown in the appropriate season and in an unfavorable season,the survival and reproduction ability of B2A68 was no significantly different to that of Bar-68 under direct seeding or transplanting,and B2A68 did not have increased competitive ability over CR. Seed shattering of B2A68 was similar to that of Bar-68,both of them shatter more seed than that CR but the shattering of the three rice varieties were at a same level. No volunteer plants were found in the experimental field. The three rice varieties had similar germination rates above 90% at 7 days after sowing or before transplanting. Seed viability of three rice varieties decreased with time under shallow or deep burial; seed viability of B2A68 and Bar-68 decreased faster than that of CR. It is concluded that the potential weediness of B2A68 was low in Nanjing,China.
