  • 유전자변형 벼 및 비변형 벼 재배시 근권미생물의 특성 및 군집변동상을 조사하였다. 유전자변형 벼 재배 및 비변형 벼 재배 근권토양 및 뿌리표면인 근면의 세균수는 큰 차이가 없었다. 수원지역 2006년도 포장시험에서 근권토양의 세균은 유전자변형 벼의 경우 Afipia가 12.5%, Spingomonas 10.0%, Ramlibacter 10.0%, Mycobacterium 7.5%, Tetrasphaera 7.5%였으며, 유전자비 변형 벼는 Afipia가 7.3%, Spingomonas 12.2%, Ramlibacter 7.3%, Mycobacterium 17.1%, Tetrasphaera 속이 14.6%로 우점하였다. 예산 시험포장에서 재배한 벼 뿌리표면의 우점세균은 2007년도에는 유전자 변형 벼 시험포에서 Arthrobacter 속 12.7% 유전자비 변형 벼 시험포에서는 Burkholderia 속 22.2%였으며, 2008년도에는 유전자변형 벼 시험포에서 Paucimonas 속이 26.6%, 비변형 벼 시험포에서는 Chryseobacterium 속이 15.4 %를 점유하였다. PLFA에 의한 미생물 군집은 유전자변형 벼 재배 유무에 따른 조건에서는 뚜렷한 경향이 없었지만 토양 간에는 다른 특성을 보였다.

  • The ornamental industry encompasses cut flower, pot plant, turfgrass and nursery stock production and is an important part of the agricultural sector. As internationally traded commodities, cut flowers and plants are an integral part of the economy of a number of developing countries in South America, the Caribbean and Africa. Genetic modification (GM) is a tool with great potential to the ornamental horticulture industry. The rapid progress in our knowledge of plant molecular biology can accelerate the breeding ornamental plants using recombinant DNA technology techniques. Not only is there the possibility of creating new, novel products the driver of the industry but also the potential to develop varieties requiring less chemical and energy inputs. As an important non-food agricultural sector the use of genetically modified (GM) ornamental crops may also be ideal for the intensive farming necessary to generate pharmaceuticals and other useful products in GM plants. To date, there are only a few ornamental GM products in development and only one, a carnation genetically modified for flower colour, in the marketplace. International Flower Developments, a joint venture between Florigene Ltd. in Australia and Suntory Ltd. of Japan, developed the GM carnations. These flowers are currently on sale in USA, Japan and Australia. The research, development and commercialization of these products are summarized. The long term prospects for ornamental GM products, like food crops, will be determined by the regulatory environment, and the acceptance of GM products in the marketplace. These critical factors will be analysed in the context of the current legislative environment, and likely public and industry opinion towards ornamental genetically modified organisms (GMO's).

  • 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.

  • Introgression from genetically modified plants (GMPs) may be dependent on the genetic similarity to wild relative plants. In Korea, many wild plant species are botanically related to the cultivated plants that have a potential to be genetically transformed. The controversy for hazards of GMPs is continuing because the studies on gene flow or introgression are little. Based on the systematic criteria, we have surveyed Korean wild plant species that showed the similarity to cultivating crops. The consideration for feasibility of genetic pollution (introgression of transgene) is necessary for the successful accomplishment in the practical use of GMPs. Although the detrimental effects of GMPs on wild relatives have not been clearly verified, Korean wild plant species related to crop plant (potential GMP) have to be investigated with respect to the introgression. Korean flora consists of ca. 5,500 species. Among them, 1,448 species are classified as weed species (966 native, 325 naturalized, and 167 escaped ones), which is vulnerable to GMPs in term of introgression. We suggested the principal Korean wild plants related to major crops that might be affected by GMPs via introgression. The investigated species herein are selected based on the morphological and phenological relationship. It is necessary to verify the genetic relationship between cultivated plants and wild relatives sing more precise molecular techniques, which provide the information of likelihood for the introgression of transgene.

  • 최근, 유전자교정 작물의 상업화 승인 건수가 급속하게 늘어나고 있으며, 국내에서도 유전자교정 작물의 개발에 대한 집중적인 투자를 통하여 국제경쟁력을 높이기 위하여 노력하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 유전자변형작물의 상업화 과정에서 끊임없이 제기되어온 인체 및 환경에 대한 잠재적인 위해성 논란이 유전자교정 작물에 대하여서도 제기되고 있다. 특히, 비의도적 돌연변이(off-target)가 가장 큰 논란의 중심이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 리뷰는 식물이 내포하고 있는 장점인 배수체, 체세포 돌연변이 그리고 자연 상태에서 아그로박테리아의 T-DNA 단편의 수평 전이로 창출된 자연적인 유전자변형작물과 기존에 상업화가 승인된 유전자변형작물 이벤트들의 게놈 내 비의도적 돌연변이 사례 등을 검토한 결과 유전자교정 작물에서 나타나는 대부분의 비의도적 돌연변이는 인체 및 환경에 미칠 수 있는 위해성을 우려할 만한 수준이 아니라고 할 수 있었다. 이에, 유전자교정 작물의 안전성 평가를 위하여 새로운 규정을 제정할 필요가 없으며 기존의 유전자변형작물의 안전 관리규정을 일부 "용어의 정의" 등만 개정하여 적용하면 충분할 것으로 사료 되었다.

  • A simplified but reliable method was developed for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection of genetically modified (GM) plants. The modified CTAB (mCTAB) method enabled us to prepare a high quality of genomic DNA from several hundred plant leaf samples in one day. Using DNA samples prepared from seven dicots and two monocots, approximately 1.75-kb regions spanning 17 S to 25 S ribosomal RNA genes were successfully amplified in a 2X PCR pre-mix containing BLOTTO. Further fidelity assessment of the mCTAB method by PCR analysis with Roundup Ready soybean (RRS) and non-RRS plants showed that the DNA samples prepared alternately from each of two lines were evidently free of cross-contamination. These results demonstrate that the mCTAB method is highly recommended for the rapid detection of transgenes in large numbers of leaf samples from diverse transgenic plants.

  • Conventional staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) karyotypes of the non-genetically modified (GM) parental rice line, 'Nakdong' (Oryza sativa L. japonica), and its four GM rice lines, LS28 (event LS30-32-20-1), Cry1Ac1 (event C7-1-9-1), and LS28 ${\times}$ Cry1Ac1 (events L/C1-1-3-1 and L/C1-3-1-1) were analyzed using 5S and 45S rDNAs as probes. Both parental and transgenic lines were diploids (2n=24) with one satellite chromosome pair. The lengths of the prometaphase chromosomes ranged from 1.50 to $6.30{\mu}m$. Four submetacentric and eight metacentric pairs comprised the karyotype of 'Nakdong' and its four GM lines. One pair of 5S rDNA signals was detected near the centromeric region of chromosome g in both the parental and transgenic lines. The 45S rDNA signals were detected on the secondary constrictions of the satellite chromosome pair in both the parental and transgenic lines. There was no significant difference in chromosome size, length, and composition between 'Nakdong' and its four GM lines. This research was conducted as a preliminary study for chromosomal detection of transgenes in GM rice lines and would be useful for their breeding programs.

  • 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.
