Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) is a monocot-infecting geminivirus that replicates in infected tissue as double-stranded DIMA. We evaluated whether the WDV vector system bearingDs could be used as an effective insertional mutagen in rice. Molecular data showed thatDs was excised from WDV vectors once the WDV-carryingDs (WDV::Ds) and the genomicAc vector were co-introduced into rice calli. Mature TO and T1 transgenic plants were analyzed for the distribution and inheritance ofDs inserts. Southern analysis indicated that theDs elements excised from WDV vectors were stably inserted into genomes. The number of transposedDs ranged from zero to three copies, among independent transformants. Meanwhile, untransposedDs (WDV::Ds) were present in multiple-copies in genomes. Southern analysis of the selfed progeny of T0 plants demonstrated that most WDV::Ds were co-segregated among siblings. This indicated that these elements were integrated into the same single loci. However, a fewDs were found to segregate independently from the majority ofDs. In this report, we discuss the efficiency of WDV vectors in generating multicopyDs in rice genomes.
