During  Bt  transgenic rice storage,  Bt  Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac fused protein is exposed to the maize weevil  Sitophilus zeamais  and the parasitoid wasp  Theocolax elegans . We have carried out a long-term risk assessment for  Bt  rice to these non-target organisms in the storehouse. Effects of  Bt  rice on  S .  zeamais  and  T .  elegans  have been carefully detected in a laboratory experiment of over 5 years. The survival, development, fecundity, and longevity of the maize weevil were compared between  Bt  rice and non- Bt  rice treatments for every 5 generations from generation 1 to 25. Moreover, the development, adult body size and sex ratio of  T .  elegans  were compared between them parasitizing  S .  zeamais  feeding on  Bt  rice or non- Bt  rice. We found that although  Bt  Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac fused protein exists in the  Bt  rice grains and  S .  zeamais  digestive tracts,  Bt  rice is not harmful to the maize weevil  S .  zeamais  and its parasitoid  T .  elegans .
