FLAVR SAVR, The First GM Food
-
http://resources.emb.gov.hk/envir-ed/globalissue/images/ModifiedTomato.jpg The first GM food was the FLAVR SAVRtomato Introduced in 1994 it had delayed ripening characteristics
-
Fruit softens because polygalacturonase degrades pectin Antisense technology was used to turn off (silence) the polygalacturonase (PG) gene Gene encoding antisense RNA was inserted into tomato cells The antisense RNA finds the normal RNA and hybridizes The cell then degrades this complex, preventing the normal RNA from being translated
-
PG gene transcription mRNA translation PG gene transcription mRNA Antisense mRNA translation Antisense Technology
-
Polygalacturonase (PG) is an enzyme that breaks down pectin in ripening fruit walls Plants with an antisense PG transgene produce less PG. Walls soften more slowly Many genes manipulated in the same way to answer basic questions: - what is the role of hormones in ripening? - what do particular enzymes do in fruit walls? Wild-type fruit Antisense PG fruit PG activity Days from 1st colour change 0 10 2 4 6 8 Altering Fruit Ripening with Antisense RNA

Current technologies aid the farmer not the consumer Herbicide Resistance Virus Resistance Insect Resistance
-
Herbicide Tolerance Methods used to promote crop growth also promote weeds Weeds often outgrow crops and reduce farm output Even though there are about 100 chemical herbicides, weeds still reduce crop productivity by ~12% Problem is that many herbicides kill both crops & weeds This has led to the creation of herbicide tolerant crops
-
Herbicide Tolerance
Soybean with no herbicides Soybean after herbicides Herbicides are used for weed control Weeds drastically reduce crop yield and quality
-
-
Non-selective herbicides (Roundup Ultra and)
Roundup® (chemical name: glyphosate) Breaks down quickly in the soil, eliminating residual carry-over problems and reducing environmental impact. Roundup Ready® transgenic varieties of common crops completely resistant to those herbicides
-
-
EPSPS Transgene Introduced into Plants Codon usage modified for efficient expression in plants promoter polyA+ Regulatory sequences recognised by plant (either from plant gene or plant virus gene). In this case 35S CaMV promoter Agro. EPSPS tp Transit peptide from plant gene added to allow chloroplast import
-
-
Move to greener herbicide Benefits of Glyphosate Tolerance in Crops Can use at any time - can wait until there is a problem Reduced herbicide use Very effective - Weeds very sensitive - GM crop very resistant GM canola surrounded by weeds - glyphosate + glyphosate
-
Roundup® Ready Crops Corn Alfalfa Soybeans Canola Sorghum Cotton Tomato Potato Wheat
-
1996 Roundup® Ready Gene Agreement Terms: The farmer must pay a $5 per bag "technology fee“ The farmer must give Monsanto the right to inspect, monitor and test his/her fields for up to 3 years The farmer must use only Monsanto's brand of the glyphosate herbicide it calls Roundup®
-
The farmer must give up his/her right to save and replant the patented seed (replanting seed is a practice as old as agriculture) The farmer must agree not to sell or otherwise supply the seed to "any other person or entity." The farmer must also agree, in writing, to pay Monsanto "...100 times the then applicable fee for the Roundup® Ready gene, times the number of units of transferred seed, plus reasonable attorney's fees and expenses..." should he violate any portion of the agreement.
-
Concerns of Roundup® Ready Crops Spread of resistance genes to weeds Problems with quality of crops e.g.. Cotton bolls falling off prior to harvest Farmers required to purchase seed annually The herbicide is still toxic at high doses
-
Benefits of Roundup® Ready Crops Fields no longer need tilling Reduction in weed management costs of up to 37% Decrease in herbicide use by >1lb/acre Overall 74% increase in farmer profits1 1U.S. Corn Crop 2003
-
Roundup® patent recently expired Researchers have designed new method of resistance Sorted thru 100s of microbes to find a detoxifying enzyme Found 3 genes in Bacillus licheniformis which encode glyphosate N-acetyltransferase (GAT) Using directed evolution generated an enzyme 10000x more efficient ~5yrs to market
-
There are also varieties of various crops resistant to: Glufosinate Bromoxyil Sulfonylurea
-
Virus Resistance Yellow Squash resistant to three different viruses were developed by Asgrow Seed Resistance was then transferred to zucchini Virus resistant papaya were developed in the mid ’90s This was after a outbreak of papaya ring spot virus destroyed 40% of the Hawaiian crop The varieties called Rainbow® & SunUp® are provided free to farmers
-
Transgenic PRV-resistant papaya has been grown commercially in Hawaii since 1996 Increased virus resistance: Papaya ringspot virus (PRV) Virus has had huge impact on papaya industry in Hawaii - reduction of fresh fruit production directly related to spread of PRV No naturally occurring resistance genes - without GM, papaya industry in Hawaii would be destroyed
-
promoter Regulatory sequences recognised by plant (either from plant gene or plant virus gene). In this case 35S CaMV promoter and terminator polyA+ PRV coat protein gene expressed from 35S CaMV promoter. Papaya transformed by particle bombardment PRV coat protein gene Confers partial resistance to PRV in one variety (‘Rainbow’) and complete resistance in another (‘SunUp’) Growers have to sign up to careful crop management - minimize virus pressure on transgenics to maintain resistance Papaya Resistant to PRV

Bt Corn & Allergies Bt corn is approved for human consumption However Starlink® brand corn is approved only for animal feed Contains Cry9C which may be a potential allergen In 2000 Starlink® was found in Taco Bell-brand taco shells EPA determined that no one who ate the food was allergic, but they found that it had a moderate potential allergenicity All the products were recalled and Starlink® corn is not approved for human consumption Starlink® trademark of Aventis Corp.
-
Benefits of Bt Corn Crop yield increases by up to 33% 39% less insecticide used Increase in monetary gains by 18%1 1U.S. Corn Crop 2003
-
Concerns associated with GM crops
Possible production of allergenic or toxic proteins not native to the crop 2. Adverse effects on non-target organisms, especially pollinators and biological control organisms 3. Loss of biodiversity 4. Genetic pollution (unwanted transfer of genes to other species) 5. Development of pest resistance 6. Global concentration of economic power and food production 7. Lack of "right-to-know" (i.e., a desire for labeling transgenic foods)
-
How to prevent development of Bt resistance in insects?
at least 20% of a farm's corn acreage must be planted to non-BT corn. R = resistant European borer; S = susceptible borer. few Bt-resistant insects surviving in the Bt field would likely mate with susceptible individuals that have matured in the non-Bt refuge. Thus, the resistance alleles would be swamped by the susceptible alleles. 20% Strategy will not work if resistance is dominant !!!

Crop Improvements Current research into crop improvements include: Increased growth rate Increased salt tolerance Increased drought resistance Modification of seed oil content
-
Drought / Salinity Resistance Trehalose is a protectant against many environmental stresses; freezing, osmotic pressure (salinity), heat and dessication. Trehalose (1--D-glucopyranosyl-glucopyranoside) is synthesised in a two-step process in yeast. Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is one of the most highly osmo-tolerant yeasts – especially to salt Kwon, S.J., Hwang, E.W. & Kwon, H.B. (2004).

Modification of Seed Oil Content
-
Plant Seed Oils Oils either for cooking or industrial uses are usually extracted from seeds such as, Corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, coconut, flax Seed rely on their stored oil as an energy & carbon sources for germination Most seed oils are made up of unsaturated fatty acids Some tropical oils such as palm & coconut have significant levels of saturated fatty acids

http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio104/lipids.htm Cis-fatty acids, naturally occuring unsaturated acids Trans-fatty acids, artifically generated to keep unsaturated fatty acids from going rancid Trans-fatty acids increase LDL (bad cholesterol) increasing the risk of heart disease
-
Soybeans with Modified Oil Content Soybeans normally have high amounts of the unsaturated fatty acid linolenic acid Vistive by Monsanto is Roundup Ready soybeans bred to have low amounts of linolenic acid This eliminates the need to hydrogenate the oil http://www.siberiantigernaturals.com/omega3.htm

-
Over 60 million tons of seed oil are used for edible purposes About 15 million tons is employed in industrial usage One of the first plants modified was Rape (Brassica napus oleifera) A member of the mustard family, Rape has been grown for centuries as animal feed and natural lubricant In the 1970s selective breeding led to strains of Rape lacking erucic acid The removal of erucic acid made the oil fit for human consumption, LEAR (low-erucic acid rapeseed)
-
Rape field full of brillantly yellow flowers http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0011652.html
-
The first transgenic crop with modified oil content was a high lauric oil rapeseed. Rapeseed oil normally contains about 0.1% lauric acid Modified rapeseed contains ~40% lauric acid Lauric acid from GM rapeseed would be used in place of oils from palm or coconut The primary use of lauric acid is in detergents CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-SO4- Na+ Sodium Lauryl Sulfate a.k.a SDS
-
Other varieties of GM rapeseed could provide: Steric acid as a substitute for hydrogenated oils Jojoba waxes for use in cosmetics and lubricants Various acids for use in biodiesel Phytases for animal feed Novel peptides for pharmaceuticals Why is rapeseed so versatile? One reason is because it is related to…

Nutritional Enhancement
-
Improving Protein Quality Nutritional value of seed storage proteins is often limited - may lack one or more amino acid essential to human health e.g. legume seeds lack cysteine and methionine; other seeds can lack lysine Animals and humans are incapable of making 10 ‘essential’ amino acids - must obtain in diet Amino acid balance in seeds has been manipulated in laboratory experiments using a number of strategies: - introduce seed storage protein from another species - alter sequence of seed storage protein gene in vitro - manipulate amino acid biosynthetic pathway to increase abundance of particular amino acids Similar strategies have been used to improve protein content and composition in non-seed food crops...
-
‘Increased nutritive value of transgenic potato by expressing a nonallergenic seed albumin gene from Amaranthus hypochondriacus’ Chakraborty et al., PNAS 97, 3724-3729 (2000) Potato is the fourth most abundant global crop and used for food, animal feed and production of starch and alcohol Limited in lysine, tyrosine, methionine and cysteine Transformed potato with seed albumin from Amaranthus hypochondriacus which has good amino acid balance p35S CaMV Nos 3’ AmA1 pGBSS Nos 3’ AmA1 2 alternative constructs.

Vaccine Foods In the early 1990’s tomatoes, bananas, & potatoes were proposed as delivery vehicles for vaccines Touted as a simple method of delivering vaccines especially to developing countries Studies have shown plant-produced oral vaccines to increase immunity in mice Potatoes containing Hepatitis B vaccine have been shown to boost immunity in humans
-
There are concerns about dosing when these crops are directly consumed. Would a dose be? 2 bananas and a tomato What if a person eats too many vaccine potatoes? Also there is concern if the vaccine foods enter the food supply of people who are vaccinated the traditional way
-
Plants as Bioreactors Plants (crops or cell culture) can be used to produce proteins currently produced by microbes or animal cells The advantage over microbes: The proteins are more like human proteins The advantage over animal cells: Plants cannot become contaminated with mammalian pathogens
