  • In order to confirm the safety of a genetically modified organism (GMO), we assess its potential toxicity on non-target insects and spiders. In this study, the effects of GM soybean, a type of vitamin-A-enhanced transgenic soybean with tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate, were assessed under a field condition. The study compared this vitamin-A-enhanced transgenic soybean and a non-GM soybean (Gwangan) in a living modified organism (LMO) isolated field of Kyungpook National University (Gunwi) and the National Institute Agricultural Sciences (Jeonju) in the Republic of Korea in 2019 - 2020. In total, 207,760 individual insects and arachnids, representing 81 families and 13 orders, were collected during the study. From the two types of soybean fields, corresponding totals of 105,765 and 101,995 individuals from the vitamin-A-enhanced transgenic soybean and Gwangan samples areas were collected. An analysis of variance indicated no significant differences (p < 0.05). A multivariate analysis showed that the dominance and richness outcomes of plant-dwelling insects were similar. The data on insect species population densities were subjected to a principal component analysis (PCA) and an orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), which did not distinguish between the two varieties, i.e., the vitamin-A-enhanced transgenic soybean and the non-GM soybean in any cultivated field. However, the results of the PCA analysis could be divided overall into four groups based on the yearly survey areas. Therefore, there was no evidence for the different impact of vitamin A-enhanced transgenic soybean on the above-ground insects and spiders compared to non-GM soybean.

  • 본 연구는 들깨 유래 ${\gamma}-TMT$ (${\gamma}$-tocopherol methyltransferase) 효소 유전자를 종자에서 발현시켜 ${\alpha}$-토코페롤 함량을 증가시킨 비타민 E 강화콩(1208-3-30)의 환경위해성 평가에 대한 프로토콜 및 가이드라인을 개발하고자 수행하였다. 국립농업과학원 LMO 격리포장에서 비타민 E 강화콩(1208-3-30)과 모품종인 Williams 82 및 재배 품종인 서리태를 재배하고, 성장기와 수확 직전까지의 기간 동안 거미류를 포함한 곤충류의 다양성을 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 채집된 개체들은 기능별로 천적군, 해충군, 기타 곤충군으로 크게 구분하여 계수하였으며, 총 8목 42과 77종 17,717개체가 채집되었다. 조사된 개체군의 천적군, 해충군, 기타 곤충의 밀도는 비타민 E 강화콩(1208-3-30)과 모품종인 Williams 82 간에는 유사한 발생을 보였으나, 재배 품종인 서리태는 해충군과 천적군의 개체 밀도에서 비타민 E 강화콩과 Williams 82 모두와 통계적인 유의차가를 보였다. 기타 곤충에서는 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 시기별 곤충 발생 양상에서도 비타민 E 강화콩(1208-3-30)과 모품종인 Williams 82 간에는 통계적인 유의성을 나타나지 않았으나, 비타민 E 강화콩과 재배품종인 서리태에서는 9월 10일과 9월 24일에 통계적인 유의성을 보였다. 이러한 차이는 서리태와 Williams 82 간에도 동일하게 나타났다. 채집된 총 77종의 곤충상 데이터를 주성분 분석을 한 결과, Williams 82와 비타민 E 강화콩의 재배지의 곤충상은 국내에서 재배하는 대표적인 콩 품종인 서리태를 재배한 포장에서 나타나는 곤충상과는 확연하게 구분이 되었으며, 이는 특이적인 곤충상의 변화에 따른 결과가 아니고 재배한 콩의 품종인 서리태와 Williams 82 간의 차이에 의한 결과임을 확인하였다. 결과적으로, ${\gamma}-TMT$ (${\gamma}$-tocopherol methyltransferase) 유전자가 도입된 비타민 E 강화콩의 재배 시에 해충 및 천적의 개체군 밀도와 발생양상은 모품종인 Williams 82에서와 차이가 없는 것으로 조사되었다.

  • This study was conducted to improve tocopherol (vitamin E) composition in soybean (Glycine max) by introducing a gamma-tocopherol methyl transferase (${\gamma}$-TMT) gene via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Immature cotyledon explants were cocultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Putative transgenic embryos were selected from immature cotyledons on MS medium supplemented with 40 mg/L 2,4-D containing 100 mg/L kanamycin, 500 mg/L carbenicillin and 250 mg/L cefotaxime. Plantlets were developed from somatic embryos, and then transferred to soil. Nineteen regenerated plantlets obtained on the selection medium from 1,460 cotyledons. However, only 9 plantlets were confirmed as transformed plants. Integration of the transgene into the soybean genomic DNA was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis. HPLC analysis showed that the content of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in transgenic soybean seeds (AT-1) was approximately 4-fold higher than that of non-transgenic plants. Conclusively, we obtained the transgenic soybean having increased ${\alpha}$-tocopherol content by the overexpression of ${\gamma}$-TMT transgene.
