China-UK Bilateral Workshop on Modern Biology & its Social Impact Activities of GMOs analysis in China Litao Yang, Dabing Zhang, zhen Li College of Life Science and Biotechnology
Authorized AgGMOs in the world and China AgGMOs regulation and labeling in China GMOs analysis: -Detection labs of GMOs in China -Development of GMOs analysis methods in China -Reference molecules -Chinese standards -Database of GMOs analysis -Challenges on GMOs analysis in China -International cooperation.
Global Area of Growing GMOs (2006) • (Total 102.0 Million Hectares)
21 GM crops from foreign countries approved for importing as processed materials in China 1 soybean: GTS 40-3-2 (for processed use only, 3 years ) 9 corn varieties: Bt-corn Mon810, Bt11,Bt176,Mon 863,NK603,GA21, T25, MON59122,TC1507 (for processed use only, 3 years ) 7 canola varieties:Ms1Rf1、 Ms1Rf2、 Ms8Rf3、GT73、T45、Oxy235、Tapos 19/ 2(for processed use only, 3 years ) 4 cotton varieties:MON531, MON1445, MON15985, LLcotton 25 (used for 3 years)(for processed use, 5 years ) MOA 2007
--A science-based regulatory approach • AgGMOs regulation and labeling in China
Regulatory regime Legislation systems
17 kinds of GM products should be labeled Three labeling methods: GM raw materials: seeds GM products: containing detectable GM materials GM products: containing non-detectable GM materials
Almost of the oil has been labeled with GM. Why consumer accept GMOs? Price of imported soybean is lower! 30 million tons of GM soybean to be imported in 2007
GMOs analysis in China -Detection labs of GMOs -Development of GMOs analysis methods -Reference molecules -Chinese standards -Platform construction for GMOs analysis -International cooperation
Detection labs of GMOs in China Official Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureaus (23): Entry-Exit Inspection (1 lab involved in MOA system) Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) (49) : Domestic Inspection and Detection Non-official: Companies (GeneScan, SGS, etc)
Development of GMOs analysis methods in China --PCR based methods (qualitative and quantitative) • Endogenous reference genes • Screening PCR method: CaMV 35S promoter; NOS terminator; nptII marker gene . • Gene-specific PCR method: Cp4-epsps、Cry1Ac、Cry1Ab、Cry9c • Construct-specific PCR method: Huafan No.1、GK19、SGK321、MON531、MON810、GA21 etc. • Event-specific PCR method: • Roundup Ready soybean • Nine GM maize lines (GA21, Bt11, Bt176, MON810, T25, Mon863, TC1507, NK603, and CBH351) • Seven GM canola lines (Oxy235, T45, Ms1Rf1, Ms1Rf2, Ms8Rf3, GT73, and Topas 19/2) • Two GM cotton lines (Bt-cotton531、RR-cotton 1445 ) • R&D Reference molecules
Endogenous reference genes The importance of a reference gene Real Time quantitation of GM-event is based upon the notion of species-specific reference gene An optimal reference gene should be: 1. single (or low and known) copy number 2. low allelic variation in cultivars 3. species specificity Ideally, reference gene should be proposed by the scientific community as golden standard for a given taxon

R&D Reference molecules -The certified reference materials for GMOs analysis is not easily obtained. - Several CRMs have been R&D by IRMM, and series of CRMs might be purchased from Fluka. However, the price is very expensive, and the catalogue of CRMs did not contain the GMOs developed by China. - Reference molecule can used in GMOs analysis instead of CRMs -Novel reference molecules are being constructed for GMOs detection in China, such as 9 GM maize lines, 7 GM GM canola lines, 4 GM cotton lines,. Several CRMs were developed by IRMM, GIPSA, and ACOS, etc. • Ground seed materials • Genomic DNA • Plasmids
Several RMs for GM soybean, maize and canola detection Yang et al., 2005 Yang et al., 2005 RMs for MON1445 and MON531 cottons RMs for Bt cottons detection
RMs for RRS detection Yang et al., 2007 RMs for 9 GM maize lines detection
