A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to simultaneously detect three varieties of genetically modified (GM) canola. The construct-specific primers were used to distinguish the following three varieties of GM canola; GT73, MS8xRF3, and T45, using multiplex PCR. The FatA (fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase) gene was used as an endogenous canola reference gene in the PCR detection. The primer pair Canendo-FIR containing a 105 bp amplicon was used to amplify the FatA gene and no amplified product was observed in any of the 15 different plants used as templates. The GT73-KHUF1/R1 primer recognized the 3'-flanking region of GT73, resulting in an amplicon of 125 bp. The Barstar-F1/MS8xRF3-R primer recognized the junction region of bars tar and the NOS terminator introduced into MS8xRF3, resulting in a 162 bp amplicon, and the T45-F2/R2 primer recognized the junction region of PAT and the 35S terminator introduced into T45, resulting in an amplicon of 186 bp. This multiplex PCR allowed for the detection of construct-specific targets in a genomic DNA mixture of up to 1% GM canola containing GT73, MS8xRF3, and T45.

Event-specific PCR detection methods are the primary trend in genetically modified (GM) plant detection owing to their high specificity based on the flanking sequence of the exogenous integrant. Therefore, this study describes a real-time PCR system for event-specific GM canola GT73, consisting of a set of primers, TaqMan probe, and single target standard plasmid. For the specific detection of GT73 canola, the 3'-integration junction sequence between the host plant DNA and the integrated specific border was targeted. To validate the proposed method, test samples of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10% GT73 canola were quantified. The method was also assayed with 15 different plants, and no amplification signal was observed in a real-time PCR assay with any of the species tested, other than GT73 canola.

Genetic components introduced into approved GM crops are a key subject for safety assessment and provide a basis for the development of detection methods for GM crops. In order to understand the genetic components in approved GM crops comprehensively, we screened the genetic vector maps of GM crops that had been approved for commercialization around the world. A total of 64 varieties from 5 major GM crop species (maize, canola, cotton, soybean, and tomato) were subjected to analysis. The genetic components included genes, promoters, terminators, and selection marker. This survey may be useful for researchers who develop GM crops and methods for detecting GM crops.

The global cultivation area of genetically modified crops (GM crops) has been increasing every year. Cultivation of GM crops is not only beneficial to the economy but also has positive effects on the environment in decreasing the use of agrochemicals, chemical fertilizers, and agricultural machinery. However, there have been controversies about the admixture of GM crops and non-GM crops and the unintentional release of GM crops to the environment. Especially in Korea, where consumption of agricultural products is import-dependent, the economic importance of GM crops has been a significant issue. The Act on import and distribution of GM crops was established in 2001 to start the management of GM crops in Korea. Recently, the imported amount of GM crops to Korea has reached over 10 million tons and is increasing very rapidly; consequently, the potential environmental impact of GM crops is becoming a big issue in Korea. In Japan, the discovery of imported GM canola plants around ports in 2005 raised awareness of the unintentional release of GM crops. In Korea, GM maize plants were also found in port and feed factory surroundings from 2005 to 2007. It is now necessary to monitor imported GM crops by tracing distribution, transport process for practical environmental risk assessment. Possible gene transfer from GM crops to non-GM crops should also be investigated in the cultivation area and the surroundings as well.

GM 작물의 개발은 경제적 중요성을 갖게 되었고 상업적인 GM 작물을 재배하는 국가들은 1960년대 이후 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 비록 GM 작물의 경작과 상업화는 경제적 중요성을 얻었지만, 여전히 non-GM 작물에 비해 그들의 농업적 특성을 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 유전공학에서 사용된 방법의 결과로 발생할 수 있는 의도하지 않은 문제 발생 여부를 확인하기 위해 내건성 유전자 CaMsrB2를 포함한 GM 쌀과 non-GM 쌀의 농업적 특성을 내건성 온실과 관개수답에서 평가했다. 관개수답에서는 GM벼와 non-GM벼의 모든 농업형질에서 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 그러나 내건성온실에서 수수와 수량에서 GM벼와 non-GM벼에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 CaMsrB2 유전자를 함유한 GM벼가 내건성 조건에서 non-GM 쌀에 비해 경제적 가치가 우수하다는 것을 시사한다. 이 결과는 또한 CaMsrB2 유전자를 함유한 GM 벼는 가뭄에 취약한 지역에서 안정적으로 수량을 유지 하면서 재배 가능 하다.

BACKGROUND: This paper describes the successful discrimination of GM crops from the respective wild type (WT) controls using spectroscopy and chemometric analysis. Despite the many benefits that GM crops, their development has raised concerns, particularly about their potential negative effects on food production and the environment. From this point of view, the introduction of GM crops into the market requires the development of rapid and accurate identification technologies to ensure consumer safety. METHODS AND RESULTS: The development of a GM crop discrimination model using spectroscopy involved the pre-processing of the collected spectral information, the selection of a discriminant model, and the verification of errors. Examples of GM versus WT discrimination using spectroscopy are available for soybeans, tomatoes, corn, sugarcane, soybean oil, canola oil, rice, and wheat. Here, we found that not only discrimination but also cultivar grouping was possible. CONCLUSION: Since for the determination of GM crop there is no pre-defined pre-processing method or calibration model, it is extremely important to select the appropriate ones to increase the accuracy in a case-by-case basis.

본 연구는 4실린더 커먼레일 디젤기관에서 식물성 바이오 연료인 카롤라유(Canola oil)와 디젤연료를 혼합하여 사용하였을 때 바이오디젤 혼합율과 엔진 회전수 변화에 따른 연소 및 배기 배출물 특성을 조사하기 위하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 엔진 회전수 1,000, 1,500, 2,000(rpm)에서 연소 압력은 바이오디젤 혼합율이 증가할수록 감소하고, 2500rpm에서는 바이오디젤 혼합율이 증가할수록 증가 하였으며, 열 발생율은 바이오디젤 혼합율이 증가 할수록 모두 증가하였다. 연료 소비율은 바이오디젤 혼합율이 증가할수록 엔진 회전수가 상승할수록 증가하였다. CO 배출물은 엔진 회전수가 상승할수록, 바이오디젤 혼합율이 증가할수록 감소하였다. $CO_2$, NOx, 배출물은 엔진 회전수가 상승할수록 바이오디젤 혼합율이 증가할수록 증가하였다.

식약처는 유전자변형식품의 사전 안전관리를 위하여 "식품위생법"에 따라 안전성 심사를 거쳐 안전성이 입증된 식품만 수입 유통되도록 의무화하고 있으며, 승인받지 않은 품목은 수입통관단계에서 검사를 실시하여 국내에 유입되지 않도록 관리하고 있다. "유전자변형식품등의 안전성 심사 등에 관한 규정"에 따라 제출된 안전성 자료에 대해 '유전자변형 식품등 안전성 심사위원회'에서 심사하고, 국민 의견을 수렴하여 승인 여부를 결정한다. 또한 안전성 승인이 되었더라도 10년이 경과된 유전자변형식품은 다시 안전성 심사를 하여 안전성을 재확인하고 있다. 우리나라에서는 1999년 안전성심사를 시작하여 2000년에 최초로 유전자변형 콩을 승인하였으며, '19년 4월 현재 안전성 심사를 통해 승인된 유전자변형식품은 총 199건이다(농산물 169건, 미생물 6건, 식품첨가물 24건). 앞으로도 식약처에서는 최초 안전성 심사 뿐 아니라, 승인 후 10년이 경과되는 유전자변형식품 품목에 대한 안전성 재심사를 통해 안전성을 재확인할 계획이며, 기존에 개발된 제초제내성, 해충저항성 유전자변형식품 외에 새로운 특성을 부여한 유전자변형식품의 개발 증가에 따라 이들 품목의 안전성 심사를 위하여 CODEX, OECD 등 국제적인 규제 조화를 바탕으로 심사항목 정비 등 사전안전관리를 강화할 계획이다.

Recent times have seen sustained increases in genetically modified (GM) crops not only for cultivation but also for the utility of food and feed worldwide. Domestically, commercial planting and the accidental or unintentional release of living modified (LM) crops into the environment are not approved. Many detection methods had been devised in an effort to realize effective management of the safety of agricultural genetic resources. In order to develop event-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) markers for LM crops, we analyzed the genetic information of LM crops. Genetic components introduced into crops are of key importance to provide a basis for the development of detection methods for LM crops. To this end, a total of 18 varieties from four major LM crop species (maize, canola, cotton, and soybeans) were subjected to an analysis. The genetic components included introduced genes, promoters, terminators and selection markers. Thus, if proper monitoring techniques and single or multiplex PCR strategies that rely on selection markers can be established, such an accomplishment can be regarded as a feasible solution for the safe management of staple crop resources.
