Abstract

Development of genetically modified crops using modern biotechnology is regarded as a promising way to combat with ever-increasing human population. Korea attempted to develop its own genetically modified crops essentially for the past 20 years, however no example of commercialization has been announced. Here, I briefly summarized current status of development and risk assessment of genetically modified crops in Korea. Then, I attempted to identify a death valley in the process of commercialization. Based on experience of risk assessment of 15 different genetically modified organisms, I suggested that lack of the screening of elite events may serve as a death valley.

생명공학기술을 이용한 유전변형작물의 창출은 세계 인구의 증가와 식량 수요의 증가에 대응하는 주요한 기술로 인정받고 있다. 이미 유전변형작물의 상업화에 성공한 선진국의 선례에 바탕하여 우리나라도 지난 20년 동안 유전변형 작물의 개발을 지속하여 20여 종의 작물에서 60여 건 이상의 유전변형작물을 개발하였다. 본 고에서는 우리나라의 유전변형작물 개발과 위해성 평가 현황을 간단히 살펴보면서, 우리나라에서 개발된 유전변형작물의 상업화가 현재까지 이루어지지 못하는 죽음의 계곡이 어디에 있는지를 제시하고자 하였다. 저자는 지난 5년 동안 15건의 국내개발 유전변형작물의 위해성 평가를 수행한 경험에 바탕하여, 우량 사상의 선발의 부재가 상업화의 죽음의 계곡임을 제시하였다.
