BACKGROUND: The present study is an exploratory research to establish national biosafety regulation systems through a survey on the recognition of safety regulation systems for the living modified organism(LMO). METHODS AND RESULTS: We have conducted a survey on an awareness of LMO safety regulation systems in scientific working groups. The data of 235 respondents were analyzed using various statistical methods. As a result, 72.8% of the respondents were male; 27.2% were female, and 43.4% of them work in the university. A total of 33.2% of the respondents majored in general biology, and their most common job position was the laboratory safety manager. The difference of an awareness on LMO law and regulatory system was not statistically significant by either work places or job positions. CONCLUSION: For the rapid settlement and the efficient implementation of LMO safety management policy, we conclude that it is required to reduce the gap between the recognition and fulfillment of safety management. Furthermore, the mutual exchanges of information among researchers are needed with the settlement of the safety management system and the harmony of policy with improvement of the absurd regulations. The ongoing and specialized training, inspections, and the strengthening of public relations are also required along with the efforts to improve the absurd regulations.

Transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants harboring coat protein (CP) gene of Zucchini green mottle mosaic virus (ZGMMV) were generated for virus-resistant screening and complementation analysis of related viruses for environmental safety assessment (SA) of living modified organism (LMO) purposes. Transformation of leaf disc of N.benthamiana was performed by using Agrobacterium-mediated method and the pZGC-PPGA748 containing the ZGMMV CP and NPTII genes. Two kinds of transgenic homozygous groups, virus-resistant and virus-susceptible N.benthamiana lines, were obtained by screening of challenging homologous virus for Tl generations. These two pathologically different lines can be useful for host-virus interactions and LMO environmental SA.

형질전환 벼와 일반 벼의 환경위해성 평가 기초자료를 위해 경상남도 사천시에서 2013~2017년, 경상북도 군위군에서 2015~2016년 7월 말부터 10월 초까지 벼에 발생하는 곤충상을 조사하고 군집특성을 분석하여 비교하였다. 사천시에서 형질전환 벼는 경상대학교 LMO (Living genetically Modified Organism) 격리포장 내에서 재배되었고, 일반 벼는 경상남도 사천시 사천읍 두량리에서 재배되었다. 군위군에서 형질전환 벼는 경북대학교 LMO 격리포장 내에서 재배되었고, 일반 벼는 경상북도 군위군 효령면 화계리에서 재배되었다. 채집방법으로 육안 조사, 포충망 조사, 유아등 트랩, 끈끈이 트랩을 이용하였다. 5년 동안 사천시에서 총 15목 123과 464종 37,941개체가 채집되었고, 2년 동안 군위군에서 총 13목 111과 366종 10,030개체가 채집되었다. 다년간 LMO포장과 일반포장을 비교해본 결과 매년 상위 주요 목은 우점 순서를 제외하면 거의 같은 목이 나타나는 것을 보아 아직까지는 LMO포장과 일반포장의 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다고 사료된다. 그리고 LMO포장과 일반포장 사이의 유사도 지수와 일반포장 사이의 유사도 지수가 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 LMO로 인한 차이가 아닌 환경에 의한 차이로 사료된다.

2008년 이후 꾸준히 유전자변형생물체의 수입 승인이 증가하여 2015년 2월 기준 국내 131개의 이벤트가 식용, 사료용, 가공용으로 수입 및 유통 중이다. LMO의 비의도적 자연 생태계 유출을 파악하기 위해 선행되어야 하는 것은 명확한 LMO 도입유전자 검출 기법의 개발이며, 본 연구를 통해 2014년 7개 이벤트에 대한 도입유전자 검출 기법을 확립하였다. 현재까지 확보된 유전자 분석기법은 40개이며 이는 국내도입 LMO의 80%를 검출할 수 있는 과학적 근거를 제공할 것이다(Lee et al. 2015). LMO 자연환경 모니터링 및 사후관리 연구를 위해 단일이벤트를 검출할 수 있는 기법 연구는 앞으로 계속 수행할 계획이다.

"Contained use" means using LMOs during manufacturing processes within a facility, equipment or other physical structures to prevent the spread of LMOs to the external environment. LMOs and their substances not only have played an essential role in various industries in different ways, but also have made to spread concerns in Biosafety widely. In Korea, the LMO Act is to implement the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety' since 1st Jan 2008. This is focused on Biosafety and Risk management for LMOs according to the precautionary principle.

Transgenic Nicotiana benthmiana plants harboring and expressing coat protein (CP) gene of Zucchini green mottle mosaic virus (ZGMMV) were generated for both virus-resistant screening and complementation analysis of related viruses and environmental safety assessment (SA) of living modified organism (LMO) purposes. Transformation of leaf disc of N. benthamiana was performed using Agrobacterium-mediated method and the pZGCPPGA748 containing the ZGMMV CP and NPTII genes. Two kinds of transgenic homozygous groups, virus-resistant and -susceptible lines, were obtained by screening of challenging homologous virus for T1 generations. Complementation of CP-deficient related virus was analyzed using the susceptible line of ZGMMV. These two pathologically different lines can be useful for host-virus interactions and LMO environmental SA.

수확량을 늘리기 위해 만들어진 유전자변형 옥수수의 수입증가로 인해 환경 방출에 대한 우려가 있다. 실제로 국내에서 수입된 사료용 LMO작물이 유출되어 자생 군락지를 형성한 사례가 발견되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 유통되고 있는 옥수수사료 및 종자를 이용하여 비의도적 환경유출 및 자생개체의 발생가능성에 대해 분석하였다. 옥수수를 파쇄하여 만든 옥수수 사료의 자생개체 발생가능성 평가에서 옥수수의 발생률은 0.01%로, 옥수수 종자의 발아율에 비해 극도로 낮은 수치가 나타났다. 옥수수의 휴면율 조사에서는 매달 채집한 모든 옥수수 종자가 죽은 종자로 나타났다. 연농1호와 광평옥을 이용한 온도 별 발아율 검정에서는 20℃와 30℃에서 높은 발아율이 나타났으며 10℃와 40℃에서는 상대적으로 낮은 발아율이 나타났다. 또한 모든 발아율검정에서 연농1호가 광평옥에 비해 높은 발아율이 나타났다. 옥수수 3품종의 농업형질 조사를 통해 국내 재배용 옥수수와 해외 재배용 옥수수의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 LMO 유출에 대한 자생개체의 발생 억제 기술 및 환경 위해성 평가의 잡초화 가능성 평가의 기초자료가 될 수 있다.

'New Breeding Techniques (NBTs)' have been one of hot issues, since their future will be affected profoundly by national as well as international regulatory landscapes. In this review, we compare characteristics of NBTs with conventional and genetic modification, and analyze genetically modified organism (GMO) regulatory systems in the context of possible regulation of NBTs. NBTs are very heterogeneous in terms of principles, methodologies, and final products. As Living Modified Organisms (LMO) is defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB) as an organism containing novel combination of genetic materials obtained by the use of modern biotechnology, CPB as well as other national legislations locate itself somewhere in the middle between product-based and process-based regulations. It is also noted that jurisdictions with regulatory systems more oriented to product-based one tend to be more productive and decide or may decide to exempt site-directed nucleases-1 from GMO regulation. In this context, Korean legislations are reviewed to clarify the commons and differences in GMO definitions. Act on Transboundary Movement of LMO Act, Food Sanitation Act and Agricultural and Fishery Products Quality Control Act are three major acts to regulate GMOs. It is noted that there are differences in the definition of LMO or GM food/products especially between the LMO Act and the Food Sanitation Act. Such differences may cause conflicts between Acts when policy-decision regarding the regulation of NBTs is made. Therefore, it is necessary to reorganize legislations before policies regarding the regulation of any techniques from biotechnology are made.

Transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants harboring the coat protein(CP) gene of Zucchini green mottle mosaic virus(ZGMMV) were chosen as a model host for the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants with virus resistance. This study was focused on whether new virus type may arise during serial inoculation of one point CP mutant of ZGMMV on the transgenic plants. In vitro transcripts derived from the non-functional CP mutant were inoculated onto the virus-tolerant and -susceptible transgenic N. benthamiana plants. Any notable viral symptoms that could arise on the inoculated transgenic host plants were not detected, even though the inoculation experiment was repeated a total of ten times. This result suggests that potential risk associated with the CP-expressiing transgenic plants may not be significant. However, cautions must be taken as it does not guarantee environmental safety of these CP-mediated virus-resistant plants, considering the limited number of the transgenic plants tested in this study. Further study at a larger scale is needed to evaluate the environmental risk that might be associated with the CP-mediated virus resistant plant.
