Abstract

Qualitative and quantitative PCR methods were performed to examine the detection of ${\gamma}$-TMT (${\gamma}$-tocopherol methyltransferase) inserted into genetically modified (GM) perilla (Perilla frutescens) developed in Korea. Several primer pairs were prepared on introduced genes and an endogenous reference gene in perilla. Specificity of primers first was tested by the means of qualitative PCR analysis. Primer pair KASI02-1/2 was used to amplify the endogenous gene, KAS-I, and gave rise to an amplicon 195 bp. PCR amplification using the construct-specific primer pairs, TMTocs-1/2 and VicTM-1/2 also was performed for GM perilla. TMTocs-1/2 and VicTM-1/2 primers gave rise to an amplicon 191 bp and 109 bp, respectively. In contrast, no amplified product was observed when DNA samples from 6 different plants and 3 GM crops were used as templates. For quantitative detection, test samples containing 0.3, 1, and 1.5% genetically modified perilla were measured by real-time PCR using the plasmid DNA, pKAViTM as standard material. This result showed real-time PCR method was applicable to detect GM perilla quantitatively.

알파토코페놀을 증가시키기 위해서 ${\gamma}$-TMT(${\gamma}$-tocopherol methyltransferase) 유전자로 형질전환 된 유전자변형 들깨가 개발되었고, 도입유전자의 검출법 개발을 위하여 정성 및 정량 PCR 분석을 수행하였다. 도입유전자 및 들깨 내재유전자를 바탕으로 하여 몇 개의 검출 primer쌍을 제조하였으며, 정성 PCR 방법으로 primer의 특이성을 조사하였다. 들깨 내재 유전자, KAS-I의 증폭을 위해서 KASI02-1/2 primer를 사용하여 195 bp 크기의 PCR 증폭산물을 얻었으며, 도입유전자에 대하여 구조 특이적 primer, TMTocs-1/2 및 VicTM-1/2를 이용하여 유전자변형들깨를 포함한 6개 작물과 국내 개발된 3개 유전자변형 작물에 대해 PCR을 수행한 결과에서 각각 191 bp 및 109 bp의 PCR 산물이 유전자변형 들깨에서만 특이적으로 증폭되는 것을 확인하였다. 정량 검출을 위해서 plasmid, pKAViTM을 제조하였고, 이를 표준시료로 하여, 0.3, 1 및 1.5%로 조제된 유전자변형 들깨를 real-time PCR로 분석함으로써 유의성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이의 방법이 유전자변형 들깨를 정량적으로 검정하는데 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
