Transgenic rice plants expressing a Bacillus subtilis protoporphyrinogen oxidase (Protox), the last shared enzyme of the porphyrin pathway in the expressed cytoplasm or the plastids, were compared with non-trangenic rice plants in their growth characteristics such as tiller number, plant height, biomass, and yield. Transgenic rice plants of $\textrm{T}_3$ generation had 8 to 15 % and 25 to 43% increases in tiller number compared to non-transgenic rice plants at 4 and 8 weeks after transplanting(WAT); similar values were observed for $\textrm{T}_4$ generation at 4 and 8 WAT. However, the plant height in both $\textrm{T}_3$ and $\textrm{T}_4$ generations was similar between transgenic rice plants and non-transgenic rice plants at 4 and 8 WAT. Transgenic rice plants had 13 to 32% increase in above-ground biomass and 9 to 28% increase in grain yield compared to non-transgenic rice plants, demonstrating that biomass and yield correlate with each other. The increased grain yield of the transgenic rice plants was closely associated with the increased panicle number per plant. The percent of filled grain, thousand grains and spikelet number per panicle were similar between transgenic and non-transgenic rice plants. Generally, the growth and yield of transgenic generations ($\textrm{T}_2$, $\textrm{T}_3$, and $\textrm{T}_4$) and gene expressing sites (cytoplasm-expressed and plastid-targeted transgenic rice plants) were similar, although they slightly varied with generations as well as with gene expressing sites. The transgenic rice plants had promotive effects, indicating that regulation of the porphyrin pathway by expression of B. subtilis Protox in rice influences plant growth and yield.

To investigate the impacts of transgenic rice on freshwater organisms, we conducted two life table experiments using Daphnia magna for fifteen and twenty days, respectively. We examined life history traits such as population growth rates (r), reproductive rates ($R_0$), generation times, and survivorship. In the first experiment, we used non-drought-stressed transgenic and non-transgenic rice harvested in 2005. In the second study, we used non-transgenic and transgenic rice harvested in 2006 following drought stress. Each experiment involved three treatments in which D. magna neonates were fed with Selenastrum capricornutum (control treatment) and S. capricornutum with 5% aqueous extracts of non-transgenic rice (N-T) and transgenic rice (T). In the first experiment, D. magna showed reduced population growth rates and lowered fecundity in the N-T and T treatments. In the second experiment, D. magna receiving both transgenic and non-transgenic rice extracts showed very high mortality, low population growth rates and reproduction rates. We could not detect any significant negative effects of extracts from transgenic rice on D. magna life history traits at 95%.

본 연구의 목적은 bar 유전자를 발현한 형질전환벼에 대한 글루타민 합성효소 저해제인 glufosinate-ammonium, L-metionine sulfoximine과 광합성저해제인 paraquat에 저항성 수준과 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼의 암모늄 축적량, 저온반응 및 수량을 비교하는데 있다. 형질전환벼 계통은 비형질전환벼에 비해 glufosinate-ammonium에 45~95배 높은 저항성을 보였다. 한편 형질전환벼 계통은 L-metionine sulfoximine을 처리했을 때도 형질전환벼 계통이 비형질전환벼에 비해 18배 이상의 저항성을 보여 교차저항성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 glufosinate-ammonium과 작용기작이 다른 제초제인 paraquat에 대한 다중저항성은 없었다. Glufosinate-ammonium 처리에 의해 ammonium 축적은 비형질전환벼에서 증가하였으나 모든 형질전환벼의 계통에서는 적거나 효과가 없었다. 형질전환벼 계통 258, 411, 607 및 608을 제외한 계통은 비형질전환벼에 비해 저온 내성 및 저온 후 회복정도가 유의적으로 낮은 경향을 보였다. 형질전환벼 계통 142, 144, 258 및 608의 수량은 비형질전환벼와 유사하거나 높았다.

본 연구는 Protox 저해형 제초제 저항성인 형질전환벼 라인(MX, PX, AP37)과 비형질전환벼(WT)에서 저온, 고온, NaCl 및 chemical(paraquat) 스트레스에 대한 생리적 반응차이를 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼는 저온실험의 경우 $5^{\circ}C$에 1일 그리고 회복을 위해 $25^{\circ}C$에 6일 두었고, 고온 실험은 $45^{\circ}C$에 4일 그리고 회복을 위해 $25^{\circ}C$에 8일 두었다. 또한 0.5%와 1% NaCl 처리 후 6일간 그리고 ${0{\sim}300\mu}M$ paraquat 처리 후 5일간 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼의 잎의 피해율, 지상부 생체중 및 생리적 반응(porphyrin 생합성 중간물질, 엽록소 함량)을 조사하였다. 형질전환벼 라인과 WT간에 잎 피해율 및 생제중은 저온처리와 저온처리 후 회복기간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 한편 고온과 고온처리 후 회복 5일까지는 형질전환 라인과 WT간에 초장과 생체중에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 회복 6일째에 MX와 PX는 WT에 비해 초장 및 생체중의 감소가 컸다. NaCl 처리 후 잎의 피해율, 엽록소 함량 및 Mg-Proto IX ME 함량은 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 AP37의 Proto IX 함량과 PX와 AP37의 지상부 생체중은 0.5% NaCl 처리에서 WT에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 그러나 paraquat 처리 후 잎의 피해율과 지상부 생체중의 변화는 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 비록 일부 환경스트레스의 일부 조사기간에서 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼간에 다른 반응차이를 보였지만 일반적으로 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼간에 환경스트레스에 유사한 반응차이를 보였다.

We carried out to study the function of ArgE in transgenic rice plants, which were confirmed by PCR analysis and hygromycin selection. Transgenic rice plants were with selectable marker gene(HPT) inserted in genome of the rice. Southern analysis with hpt probe confirmed by two restriction enzymes that copy numbers of the selectable gene was introduced into the plant genome. We displayed that the relationship between drought stress and ArgE gene with the overexpressing rice plants. From this result, we observed that the degree of leaves damage has no difference in control and transgenic lines. The total RNAs were extracted from 6 weeks-seedling in normal condition in order to examine their expression levels with ArgE-overexpressed transgenic rice. In particular, expression patterns of genes encoding enzymes involved in abiotic stress, including drought and salt stresses. OsGF14a and OsSalt were investigated by reverse transcription-PCR(RT-PCR). Expression levels of the OsSalt gene decreased significantly in transgenic rice plants compared to control plant. However, ion leakage measurement did not demonstrate any leaves damage change between control and ArgE transgenic plants exposure to mannitol treatment. These results suggest that expression of the ArgE is not involved in tolerance for drought stress in rice but may playa role of signaling networks for salt-induced genes.

In order to monitor the possibility of horizontal gene transfer between transgenic rice and microorganisms in a paddy rice field, the gene flow from a bifunctional fusion (TPSP) rice containing trehalose-6-phosphate synthase and phosphatase to microorganisms in soils was investigated. The soil samples collected from the paddy rice field during June 2004 to March 2006 were investigated by multiplex PCR, Southern hybridization, and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). The TPSP gene from soil genomic DNAs was not detected by PCR. Soil genomic DNAs did not show homologies on the Southern blotting data, indicating that gene transfer did not occur during the last two years in the paddy rice field. In addition, the AFLP band patterns produced by soil genomic DNAs from both transgenic and non-transgenic rice fields appeared similar to each other when analyzed by the NTSYSpc program. Thus, these data suggest that transgenic rice does not give a significant impact on the communities of soil microorganisms, although long-term observation may be needed.

본 연구의 목적은 Protox 저해형 제초제 저항성인 형질전환벼계통(MX, PX, AP37)과 비형질전환벼(WT) 백미에 대한 미질, 무기물, 구성아미노산, 유리아미노산 및 유리당 함량을 조사하였다. 형질전환벼계통의 완전미, 식미값, 단백질 및 백도(MX와 AP37제외)는 비형질전환벼에 비해 높거나 유사하였고, 형질전환벼 계통의 분상질립, 균열립 및 쇄미(PX와 AP37제외)는 비형질전환벼에 비해 낮았다. 그러나 피해립과 아밀로스함량에서는 형질전환벼계통과 비형질전환벼간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. PX의 K 함량과 PX와 AP37의 Cu 함량은 WT에 비해 적었을 뿐 일부 다른 무기물에서는 WT보다 형질전환벼계통에서 오히려 높거나 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 대부분 구성 아미노산 함량은 형질전환벼계통에서 WT에 비해 높았거나 유사하였고, 단지 AP37의 Isoleucine 함량만이 WT에 비해 적었다. 한편 유리아미노산 Leucine과 Tyrosine의 경우는 PX와 AP37에서 그리고 총 유리아미노산의 함량의 경우는 PX에서만 WT에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 그러나 형질전환벼 계통의 다른 종류의 유리 아미노산 함량은 WT과 유사하였다. MX와 PX의 Sucrose 함량은 WT에 비해 적었으나 형질전환벼계통의 fructose, glucose 및 maltose 함량은 WT에 비해 높거나 유사하였다. 따라서 Protox 유전자는 벼의 양분구성에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않는다고 할 수 있다.

Genetic engineering is being used to enhance disease resistance and nutritional value of crops including rice plant. Considering the fast-growing agricultural biotechnology and rapidly increasing global area of transgenic crops, the risk evaluation on environment is necessary. In this study, we surveyed the difference of disease occurrence between transgenic rice variety, Iksan526 transformed with peanut stilbene synthase gene and non-transgenic rice varieties, Dongjin and Nampyeong in the field. Moreover, the possibility of gene transfer from transgenic rice to bacterial and fungal pathogens was investigated. The results of this study indicated that there was no significant difference in the occurrence and severity of the diseases between Iksan526 and Dongjin or Nampyeong. In addition, the results suggested that rice pathogen, such as Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani and Magnaporthe grisea did not take up stilbene synthase and bar genes under natural conditions. Moreover the transformed DNA was not transferred to the pathogens even in repetitive contacts.

The expression of transgenic traits in genetically modified crops is sometimes associated with decreases in crop performance or fitness. These decreases in performance or fitness of transgenic plants in unfavourable conditions may provide valuable information about the ecological consequences of transgene escape. In a glasshouse trial, we tested the cost associated with resistance to herbicides by comparing the growth, yield, and competitive ability of transgenic rice with its parental non-transgenic line. This new line was developed for constitutive overexpression of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) to increase resistance to herbicides. We evaluated nine agronomic traits of transgenic and non-transgenic rice grown in a replacement series design over four densities. Competitive ability was also assessed between transgenic and non-transgenic plants by analyzing their relative yields based on biomass and seed weight data. Our results indicated that non-transgenic plants showed greater performance than did the transgenic plants when those genotypes were grown in mixtures. The non-transgenic rice plants exhibited superior competitive ability at certain combinations of planting densities and genotype proportions. These results suggest that PPO-herbicide resistance incurs some costs in plant performance and competitive ability.
