This study was carried out to develop of environmental risk assessments and the biosafety guide for Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean at LMO (Living Modified Organism) isolation field. In LMO quarantine area of National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, insect species diversities and population densities on vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and non-GM soybeans (Willams 82 and Seoritae) were investigated. A total of 17,717 individuals of 77 species from 8 orders were collected in LMO isolation field. In three type soybeans field, total of 5,250 individuals in Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean, 5,510 individuals in Willams 82, and 6,957 individuals in Seoritae were collected, respectively. There was no difference between the population densities of insect pests, natural enemies and other insects on Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and Willams 82, while natural enemies density on Seoritae was higher than on Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean, but insect pests density on Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean was higher. These results provided the insects diversity for risk assessment survey of Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and suggested that the guideline could be useful to detect LMO crops.

In this study, we compared disease incidence rate and phyllosphere microbial community between drought resistance transgenic rice (Agb0103) and non-transgenic Ilmi (NGM) during 2011-2014 to examine an environmental risk assessment of drought resistance transgenic rice (Agb0103). As the results, major diseases such as sheath blight, brown spot, leaf blast and false smut were occurred, however, there were no significant disease incidence rate between Agb0103 and NGM. As the results of counting bacterial and fungal viable cell, the colonies were increased or decreased which affected by environmental conditions, however there were no differences between Agb0103 and NGM. Also unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averaging (UPGMA) analysis based on polymerase chain reaction with denaturing gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) revealed that DGGE band pattern of bacterial and fungal communities were clustered by each month and there were no differences between Agb0103 and NGM. Furthermore, isolated casual agents causing sheath blight and brown spot were collected from Agb0103 and NGM, and they revealed that each of pathogens were no differences in morphology and pathogenicity. Therefore, our results suggested that Agb0103 showed no differences in disease incidence rate, characteristic of pathogens and phyllosphere community with NGM. In this way, it can be assumed that transgenic rice Agb0103 could not influence phyllosphere microorganism community and environmental conditions.

본 연구는 대규모 GMO 격리포장에서 고추 유래 가뭄저항성CaMsrB2유전자가 도입된 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)의 안정성 평가에 대한 가이드라인 및 프로토콜을 개발하고자 수행하였다. 경북대학교 농업생명과학대학 GMO 실습격리포장에서 총 사용면적 4,700 m²에서 Agb0103와 모품종인 일미벼에 대해 거미류를 포함한 곤충류 다양성을 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 채집된 개체들은 기능별로 해충군, 천적군, 거미군으로 크게 구분하여 계수하였으며, 조사된 개체군의 해충군, 천적군, 거미류 등의 밀도는 기능군 별로 Agb0103와 일미벼간에 유의성을 보이지 않았다. 해충의 발생양상을 비교 분석한 결과, 전반적으로 일미벼에서 발생량이 다소 많은 경향으로 나타났으나, 대부분의 시기별 발생량 평균 간의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타나서 Agb0103와 일미벼과의 해충 발생양상에는 유의성을 찾기가 어렵다고 판단된다. 또한 천적류 발생양상은 해충 발생양상과는 달리 Agb0103에서 발생량이 다소 많은 경향으로 나타났으나, 시기별 평균 간 차이는 없는 것으로 분석되어 천적 발생양상에도 특이한 유의성을 없다고 판단된다. 따라서 가뭄저항성 CaMsrB2유전자가 도입된 Agb0103에서의 해충 및 천적의 개체군 밀도 및 발생양상은 모본인 일미벼에서와 차이가 없는 것으로 조사되었다.
