Abstract

Over 500 genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been developed since 1996, of which nearly 44% have glufosinate herbicide-tolerant traits. Identification of specific markers that can be used to identify herbicide-tolerant traits is challenging as the DNA sequences of the gene(s) of a trait are highly variable depending on the origin of the gene(s), plant species, and developers. To develop specific PCR marker(s) for the detection of the glufosinate-tolerance trait, DNA sequences of several pat or bar genes were compared and a diverse combination of PCR primer sets were examined using certified reference materials or transgenic plants. Based on both the qualitative and quantitative PCR tests, a primer set specific for pat and non-specific for bar was developed. Additionally, a set of markers that can detect both pat and bar was developed, and the quantitative PCR data indicated that the primer pairs were sensitive enough to detect 0.1% of the mixed seed content rate.

1996년 이후부터 현재까지 개발된 GM 작물은 520여종에 이르며, 미국, 브라질, 아르헨티나, 캐나다, 인도 등을 포함해 26개국에서 GM 작물을 재배하고 있다. 특히, 제1세대 GM 작물로 구분되는 제초제 내성 GM 작물은 전체 GM 작물의 67%를 차지하며, 그 중 제초제 glufosinate에 내성을 나타내는 pat 또는 bar 유전자를 지닌 작물은 44%를 차지한다. 하지만 GM 작물이 같은 형질을 지녔더라도 유전자의 기원, 식물의 종 및 개발자에 따라 그 유전자의 서열은 매우 가변적이기 때문에 이를 식별하기란 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전체 GM 작물의 44%, 국내 승인 GM 작물의 약 53%를 차지하는 제초제 glufosinate 내성 유전자에 특이적이면서도 보편적인 마커를 개발하고자, 여러 GM 작물의 pat 또는 bar 유전자의 DNA 염기서열을 비교하여 PCR 프라이머를 개발하였으며, 이를 GM 작물 표준물질을 사용하여 검증하였다. 정성 및 정량적 PCR 실험을 통해 pat 유전자에 특이적인 PCR 프라이머를 개발하였다. 또한 pat과 bar 유전자를 동시에 검출 할 수 있는 PCR 프라이머도 개발하였으며, 정량적 PCR 분석을 통해 0.1% 함량의 수준까지도 검출 가능함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 수행 결과로 확인된 PCR 마커 및 분석법이 향후 GM 작물의 안전한 유통관리 및 GM 식품의 식품 안전관리를 위한 저비용 고효율적 검출방법으로 이용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
