  • Legislation enacted worldwide to regulate the content of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in crops, foods, and ingredients, reliable and sensitive methods for GMO detection have been developed. Proteins produced in GMO plants can be determined by qualitative and quantitative analyses and thus GMO designation has performed exactly. Target proteins selected in this study were neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII), 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (CP4 EPSPS), cucumber mosaic virus(CMV), and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT). Analytical method employing western blotting was used for final characterization.

GMO(유전자변형식품) - 농업혁명인가? 인류재앙인가? - GMO기술, 자체보다 적정 사용여부가 중요 - 걸음마단계의 유전공학 농업, 제도 마련해야

  • 만일 미국인 소비자들에게 식품과 농산물에 생명공학을 적용하는 것을 지지하느냐고 물으면 그들 중 약 $70\%$는 ''그렇다''고 답할 것이다. 하지만 질문의 각도를 좀 달리해서 ''당신은 유전자변형식품(GMO)을 먹어도 된다고 생각하는가''라고 묻는다면 3분의 2가량은 ''아니다''고 대답할 것이다. 하지만 이 두가지 질문은 사실상 같은 것이다. 다만 두번째 질문속의 ''유전자''와 ''변형'' 같은 말들이 수백만명의 소비자들의 경계심리를 자극하는 것이다. GMO 기술은 적절하게만 사용된다면 식품의 영양을 개선하고 농업생산량을 증대시켜 농가소득을 높이고 심지어 환경적 위해 요소를 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 이 기술이 현재 부적절하게 시험되고 잘못 적용되는 등 불완전하게 규제될 경우 영양학적으로나 환경적으로 큰 위해로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 정확한 이해와 득실을 알아 둘 필요가 있다.

  • Bio-venture companies have undertaken harsh environment after 2000 bubble corruption. It is unlike to be changed in the near future. The business model of near-term cash flow, financial stability and survival is a key issue to be discussed. The company shall be rearranged to achieve fast recovery from investment and have to show clear and quantitative business model to the investors. Nevertheless, bio-venture should not drop long-term value creation by sacrificing the possibility of emerging technologies. Prior to clarifing agro-bioventure business model, GMO strategy should have broad supports from stakeholders. The interests and worries of stakeholders are discussed and SWOT is analyzed. For sustainable economy of future, new technology continuously should be invested to fit ROI model of genomics-based GMO developments. Hybrid of products ${\varepsilon}$ technologies may be one of the favorites in this stormy season.

  • This study analyzed consumers' willingness to pay for price increases to avoid the purchase of GM foods by the expansion of GMO labeling. The subjects were asked about their knowledge of GM, concerns of potential hazards, and sources of obtained GM information. The logit model was employed and marginal effects were calculated to interpret the results. The results showed that consumers who perceived the safety of GM technology were less likely to pay for price increases, while consumers who had concerns about GM foods were more likely to pay. In addition, the study demonstrated that consumers residing in urban areas and with low levels of education and income were also less likely to pay for price increases.

  • Genetic variation of hemoglobin and erythrocyte ganglisoside monooxygenase were analyzed in Korean nature dog Sapsarees by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis and thin layer chromatography. Hemoglobin has three phenotypes A, B and AB, which are controlled by two codominant alleles, {TEX}$Hb^{a}${/TEX} and {TEX}$Hb^[b}${/TEX}, at one autosomal locus. Gene frequencies of {TEX}$Hb^{a}${/TEX} and {TEX}$Hb^{b}${/TEX} were 0.537 and 0.4625. Ganglioside monooxygenase has two phenotypes, dominant and recessive. They are controlled by a dominant allele {TEX}$Gmo^{a}${/TEX} and a recessive allele {TEX}$Gmo^{g}${/TEX}. Frequencies of {TEX}$Gmo^{a}${/TEX} and {TEX}$Gmo^{g}${/TEX} were 0.5477 and 0.4523.

  • This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary non-genetically modified organism (non-GMO) wheat-based diets on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profile and meat quality of grower-finisher pigs. A total of 70 [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] growing pigs with an initial body weight of 26.15 ± 1.57 kg were used in a 112 day trial. The dietary treatments were as follows: (I) CD, corn-based diet and (II) non-GMO WD, a non-genetically modified organism wheat-based diet. Each treatment consisted of 7 replicate pens with 5 pigs per pen. In the current study, the pigs fed the corn-based diet had a higher body weight than the pigs fed the non-GMO wheat-based diet at day 21 and day 77 (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference in the average daily gain (ADG) during the first 21 days (p < 0.05). The non-GMO wheat-based diet had no effect on nutrient digestibility. In addition, the non-GMO wheat-based diet had no effect on the blood profile except for blood urea nitrogen (BUN) at d 21. In conclusion, the non-GMO wheat-based diet only had a slight effect on the growth performance of growing pigs but had no significant impact on the nutrient digestibility, fecal score, blood profile and meat quality of the pigs during the grower-finisher period.

  • 올해 말부터 우리나라에도 유전자변형 농산물(GMO)에 대한 표시제도가 도입된다. 유전자도입(GM) 식품의 안전성을 둘러싼 소비자단체의 캠페인은 유럽 천지를 뒤흔든 뒤 GMO의 주요생산지인 미국에서도 일기 시작했다. 그런데 최근에는 안전성을 둘러싼 논쟁이 과학계로 번지기 시작했다.
