Assessment of the endogenous allergens in glyphosate-tolerant and commercial soybean varieties.

چکیده
A gene has been introduced into soybeans to confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup (Monsanto Co., St. Louis, Mo.) 1,2 Soybean varieties expressing this trait will enable farmers to use Roundup herbicide within the crop during the growing season. Previous studies have confirmed the safety of the introduced protein (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase [EPSPS]), which confers glyphosate tolerance? Over 1400 analyses have confirmed the compositional and nutritional equivalence of the soybeans produced from the glyphosate-tolerant soybean variety to the parental soybean variety. 2 The multiple, endogenous protein allergens previously identified in soybeans 34 represent an additional safety concern. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively and quantitatively compare the endogenous allergens in glyphosate-tolerant and commercial soybean varieties and tO determine whether the genetic engineering process itself affected these components.

Compositional analysis of glyphosate-tolerant soybeans treated with glyphosate.
The compositional analyses and safety assessment of glyphosate-tolerant soybeans (GTS) were previously described. These analyses were extensive and included addressing the potential effects on seed composition from the genetic modification. Detailed compositional analyses established that GTS, which had not been treated with glyphosate, were comparable to the parental soybean line and to other ...
متن کاملReview of GMO safety assessment studies: glyphosate residues in Roundup Ready crops is an ignored issue
Background: Genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant cultivar varieties have been a commercial success widely known as Roundup Ready plants. As new glyphosate-tolerant varieties are introduced to satisfy agriculture demand, it is relevant to review the scientific evidence that documents the quality and safety of such biotechnology. Assessments of genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant plants ...
متن کاملCo-expression of G2-EPSPS and glyphosate acetyltransferase GAT genes conferring high tolerance to glyphosate in soybean
Glyphosate is a widely used non-selective herbicide with broad spectrum of weed control around the world. At present, most of the commercial glyphosate tolerant soybeans utilize glyphosate tolerant gene CP4-EPSPS or glyphosate acetyltransferase gene GAT separately. In this study, both glyphosate tolerant gene G2-EPSPS and glyphosate degraded gene GAT were co-transferred into soybean and transge...
متن کاملAssessing the effects of cultivating genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant varieties of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) on populations of field arthropods.
We assessed the effects of cultivating two genetically modified (GM) glyphosate-tolerant soybean varieties (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) derived from Event 40-3-2 and a Japanese conventional variety on arthropods under field conditions, with weed control using glyphosate and conventional weed control for two years. Plant height and dry weight of the conventional variety were significantly larger tha...
