Abstract

The cultivation area of genetically modified (GM) crops is increasing all over the world. Though the area currently cultivated for GM crops in Korea is zero, GM crop imports into the country for food and forage purposes are continuously increasing. This may encourage unintentional entrance of GM crops to the cultivated area. This study was conducted to investigate whether imported GM soybean, maize, and oilseed rape are unintentionally released for cultivation into cultivated fields in Korea. Monitoring was conducted in seven provinces and 31 sites in Korea from March to September 2007. A total of 237 plants of soybean, 154 plants of maize, and 2080 plants of oilseed rape were tested to find out the presence of GM crop. To detect GM soybean and maize, multiplex PCR was conducted using 35S promoter and nos terminator specific primers included in GM crops. The detection of glyphosate resistant GM oilseed rape was done using a lateral flow strip test kit. Based on the PCR analysis none of the surveyed soybean and maize was GM. Lateral flow analysis also showed no GM oilseed rape in the surveyed area. Based on the results of GM crop monitoring conducted from 2003 to 2007, no GM crops were found in the cultivated fields in Korea. However, continuous monitoring should be conducted to prevent the unintentional release of GM crops in the future.

전 세계적으로 GM작물 재배면적의 증가와 국내에서 식용 및 사료용 GM작물의 수입이 증가함에 따라 GM작물이 비의도적으로 국내 작물 재배지에 방출되어 경작지의 생태계에 문제를 야기할 가능성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 전국에서 재배되고 있는 콩, 옥수수 및 유채를 모니터링 하여 수입 GM작물이 국내 농경지내로 비의도적으로 방출되어 자생하고 있는지를 밝히고자 수행되었다. 2007년에 전국 7개 도 31개 지점에서 모니터링이 이루어 졌으며 콩 237점, 옥수수 154점 그리고 유채 2080점을 채집하여 GM 여부를 검사하였다. PCR 분석결과 어떠한 시료에서도 GM 콩과 옥수수는 발견되지 않았으며 lateral flow strip test 분석결과에서도 GM 유채는 발견되지 않았다. 2003년부터 수행되어 왔던 GM작물 모니터링 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 아직까지 국내 농경지에서 자생하고 있는 GM작물은 발견되지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. 하지만 앞으로도 비의도적인 GM작물의 방출로부터 대처하기 위하여 지속적인 모니터링이 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
