GM technology

GM technology

Basic Concepts of Transgenic Technology (1) Definition of Transgenic Technology The artificially isolated and modified gene is introduced into the genome of an organism. Due to the expression of the introduced gene, the hereditary modification of the organism's trait is caused. This technique is called GM technology. People often say that "genetic engineering", "genetic engineering", and "genetic transformation" are all synonymous with genetically modified genes. Genetically modified organisms are often referred to in the media as "Genetically modified organisms" (GMOs).
(II) Methods for Genetic Transformation of Several Common Plant Transgenic Methods According to whether or not they need to pass through tissue culture, regenerating plants can be divided into two categories. The first type requires regenerating plants through tissue culture. The commonly used method is the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. , Gene gun method; the other methods do not need to pass the tissue culture, the current more mature mainly pollen tube channel method.
1. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation Agrobacterium is a Gram-negative bacterium commonly found in soil. It can chemotactically infect most dicotyledonous wounds under natural conditions and induce crown gall tumors or Hairy roots. The Agrobacterium tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes cells contain Ti and Ri plasmids, respectively, which contain a piece of T-DNA. After Agrobacterium infects the plant wounds and enters cells, the T-DNA can be inserted into the plant genome. Therefore, Agrobacterium is a natural plant genetic transformation system. People insert the target gene into the modified T-DNA region and use Agrobacterium infection to transfer and integrate foreign genes into plant cells. Then, the transgenic plants are regenerated through cell and tissue culture techniques.
The Agrobacterium-mediated method was initially used only in dicotyledons. In recent years, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation has also been widely used in some monocotyledons (especially rice).
2. The gene gun-mediated transformation method utilizes a gunpowder explosion or high-pressure gas acceleration (this acceleration device is called a gene gun) to directly send a high-speed microprojectile containing a DNA solution with a target gene into intact plant tissues and cells, and then Through cell and tissue culture techniques, plants are regenerated and the transgene-positive plants are selected as transgenic plants. One of the major advantages of the gene gun method transformation compared to Agrobacterium transformation is that it is not limited by the range of the recipient plants. Moreover, the construction of its vector plasmid is also relatively simple, so it is also a widely used method in the current transgenic research.
3. The pollen tube channel method injects a DNA solution of the desired gene into the ovary after pollination, and uses the pollen tube channel formed during flowering and fertilization of the plant to introduce the exogenous DNA into the fertilized egg cell and is further integrated into the recipient cell. In the genome, it becomes a new individual with a transgene as the fertilized egg develops. This method was proposed by Zhou Guangyu, a scholar of China in the early 1980s. The most widely used transgenic insect-resistant cotton in China is cultivated using the pollen tube channel method. The greatest advantage of this method is that it does not rely on tissue culture to artificially regenerate plants. The technique is simple, and well-equipped laboratories are not required. Conventional breeding workers are easy to master.
(3) Common Animal Transgenic Techniques
1. Microinjection Under the microscope, DNA is directly injected into the nucleus of the embryo using a very fine glass needle (1-2 micron in diameter), and the embryo injected with DNA is transplanted into the animal body to develop it into normal. Cubs. About one-tenth of the animals produced by this method are transgenic animals that integrate foreign genes.
2. The somatic cell nuclear transfer method first introduces genes into somatic cells cultured in vitro, and screens and obtains cells with transgenes. The transgenic somatic cells are then transplanted into oocytes that have been removed from the nucleus to produce a reconstructed embryo. The reconstructed embryos were transplanted into the mother and 100% of the resulting littermates were transgenic animals.
(4) The relationship between transgenic technology and traditional technology Since the cultivation of crops by humans, our ancestors have never stopped the genetic improvement of crops. The way to improve crops over the past few millennia is mainly to select and use good genes and recombinants from natural mutations and to accumulate good genes in a random and natural way. In the past 100 years after the founding of genetics, animal and plant breeding was performed using artificial hybridization methods to carry out recombination of superior genes and introduction of foreign genes to achieve genetic improvement.
Therefore, transgenic technology and traditional technology are in the same strain, and their essence is genetic improvement through the acquisition of superior genes. However, in the scope and efficiency of gene transfer, there are two important differences between transgenic technology and traditional breeding techniques. First, traditional technologies can only achieve gene transfer among individuals within a species, while genes transferred by a transgenic technology are not limited by kinship among organisms. Second, traditional hybridization and selection techniques are generally conducted at the level of individual organisms. The target of the operation is the entire genome, and a large number of genes are transferred. It is impossible to accurately perform manipulation and selection of a certain gene and predict performance of offspring. Poor sex. The operation and transfer of transgenic technology is generally a well-defined gene with clear functions, and the post-representation can now accurately predict. Therefore, GM technology is the development and supplement of traditional technologies. The close combination of the two can complement each other and greatly improve the efficiency of animal and plant variety improvement.
Status of Research and Industrialization of Transgenic Animals and Plants at Home and Abroad (I) Research and Industrialization of Transgenic Crops
In 1983, the world’s first successful planting of transgenic plants marked the beginning of human use of transgenic technology to improve crops. In 1986, genetically modified crops were approved for field trials. In 1994, the mature and cultivated genetically modified tomatoes cultivated by Calgene Corporation of the United States were approved for commercial production. In 2000, the total area of ​​genetically modified crops grown in the world reached 44.2 million hectares, and the growth rate was very rapid.
According to incomplete statistics, the transgenic research has been successful in at least 35 plants and 120 plants. The traits involved include insect resistance, anti-virus, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-herbicides, anti-adversity, quality improvement, and Regulation of growth and development to increase yield potential.
According to the "Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development" (OECD) data, between 1986 and 2000, the OECD countries approved a total of 10,313 genetically modified organisms in field trials, of which plants accounted for 98.4% of the total, and bacteria accounted for In 1.0%, the virus accounted for 0.3%, fungi accounted for 0.2%, and animals accounted for 0.1%. Of all the 10,313 field trials that were approved, the United States accounted for 71.1% of the total.
Globally, the area under cultivation of genetically modified crops has been increasing rapidly in recent years. It was 1.7 million hectares in 1996, 11 million hectares in 1997, and increased to 27.8 million hectares in 1998, and further increased to 3 in 1999. 9.9 million hectares, despite being affected by the GMO controversy in the world, the planting area in 2000 still increased to 44.2 million hectares. Soybeans, corn, cotton, and rapeseed are planted on more than one million hectares, and herbicide resistance genes and insect-resistant genes are mainly used. In particular, it is worth pointing out that according to the 1999 data analysis, the United States planted 15 million hectares of GM soybeans this year, which accounted for 50% of the country's soybean area; the planting area of ​​genetically modified corn was 10.3 million hectares, accounting for the country's corn. 33% of the area.
At present, six kinds of transgenic plants in China have been approved for commercial production, including China's own storage-resistant tomatoes (1997), insect-resistant cotton (1997), ornamental plants Petunia (1997), anti-virus sweet pepper (1998), Antiviral Tomato (1998), and Insect-resistant Cotton (1997) cultivated by the United States Mengsandu Company. Among the above-mentioned transgenic crops, the largest planting area is insect-resistant cotton. By the end of 2000, the cumulative spread of domestic insect-resistant cotton had reached 370,000 hectares, reducing the use of pesticides by 80%, and creating a profit of 770 million yuan. According to the statistics of Shandong Province in 2000, the promotion of insect-resistant cotton reduces the use of more than 1,300 tons of pesticides. Mengsandu's insect-resistant cotton also has a large area of ​​planting.
Looking at the overall level, China’s progress in the research technology of genetically modified crops is basically synchronized with that of the international community, and it holds a leading position in developing countries. However, compared with the international advanced level, our gap is still very large, mainly because there are few genes with independent intellectual property rights, so there is a lack of stamina; industrialization is lagging behind and vitality is insufficient.
(II) Research and Industrialization of Transgenic Animals Internationally, from the early 1990s, it has begun to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources on the research and development of animal mammary gland bioreactor technology, and has achieved a lot of results. From 2001 onwards, 5-6 products including antitrypsin factor, C protein, thrombin III, glucosidase, and lactoferrin will be listed one after another, with an annual production value of about one billion US dollars. Since 1995, a large number of investments have been made in the development of somatic cell cloning technology. The focus of research and development is on the production of stem cells for therapeutic purposes such as tissue repair.
China is an international leader in the research and development of genetically modified fish. It has produced transgenic fish with excellent production performance and has no adverse impact on the ecological environment. Now it has passed pilot tests and safety evaluation tests, and it has the conditions to invest in the production of commodities. We have well established animal mammary gland bioreactors and somatic cell cloning technology platforms. The IBDV vaccine and interferon produced by animal mammary glands will be completed during the “10th Five-Year Plan” to create commercial production conditions.
The significance and prospects of genetically modified technology for China's agricultural development (1) Some major problems in China's agricultural production First, the pests and diseases of major crops have been aggravated year by year, and the large number of pesticides sprayed each year has increased the burden on peasants and increased farmers' output. It also seriously undermines the ecological environment on which human beings live, and also causes a large number of pesticide residues in foods, which endanger human health. Therefore, it is a very pressing issue to increase the insect resistance of the varieties and reduce the Application amount of pesticides.
Second, high-yield varieties require large amounts of fertilizer. At present, the fertilizing amount of crop production in most areas of China has exceeded the bearing capacity of the land. In addition to aggravating farmers' burdens, soil degradation and eutrophication of rivers, lakes and seas are becoming serious obstacles to the sustainable development of agriculture and the environment. It has become imminent to reduce the amount of fertilizers while maintaining high yields and stable production while cultivating varieties with high efficiency in fertilizer use.
Third, there is a growing shortage of water resources. In addition to long-term water shortages in the northwest and frequent droughts in North China, the frequency of droughts in the Yangtze River Basin has also greatly increased in recent years. According to statistics, China’s agricultural water consumption accounts for about 70% of the country’s total water consumption, while rice’s water use accounts for almost 70% of the total agricultural water consumption. Today, as water resources become increasingly scarce, it is necessary to cultivate drought-tolerant varieties and reduce the use of rice for the people. The survival and development of the economy and even human society are of great significance.
Fourth, the saline-alkali land in the north of China has a large area. The tropical and subtropical soils in the south are generally acidic. The poisoning of aluminum ions is a serious problem. These adverse environments have limited effects on crop planting and yield potential.
Fifth, China's main crops are of poor quality and can neither meet the requirements of improving people's living standards, but also affect the enthusiasm of farmers because of their low selling prices, and urgently need to be improved.
Sixth, the output of various crops has been awkward in the past two decades, and there has been no major breakthrough in the yield potential of the newly bred varieties.
(B) Prospects of Transgenic Technology in China's Crop Improvement In recent years, the application of transgene technology at home and abroad has cultivated cotton, corn, and rice with strong insect resistance. Insect-resistant cotton has been planted in large areas at home and abroad, and pest-resistant corn has been planted in large areas abroad, and their promotion has greatly reduced the amount of pesticides used. Insect-resistant rice is unique to China and has completed intermediate tests and has the conditions for industrialization.
Foreign countries have cultivated genetically modified wheat with efficient use of nitrogen fertilizers, and transgenic tobacco with significantly improved utilization efficiency of phosphate fertilizers. In recent years, both domestically and internationally, some genes related to the utilization efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers have been identified. Introducing these genes to other crops may effectively increase the fertilizer use efficiency of various crops and reduce the use of fertilizers.
With the progress of molecular biology research, many genes have been obtained in the world that regulate plant water status and make plants drought-tolerant. The use of these genes will breed drought-resistant crop varieties.
In recent years, great progress has been made in the study of molecular biology of salt-tolerant and aluminum-tolerant chemicals, and transgenic plants that are resistant to salinity and aluminum toxicity have been developed. The application of transgenic technology will create new varieties of salt-tolerant and aluminum-tolerant crops in the near future.
The storage-tolerance fresh tomatoes cultivated by the use of genetically modified technology were first approved for commercial production at home and abroad. Domestically, rice with significant reduction in amylose content, cooking and taste quality has been cultivated. The "golden rice" rich in vitamin A cultivated by Swiss scientists has caused a sensation in the international community in recent years due to its scientific and political significance. Transgenic technology is expected to play an important role in improving the nutritional quality and trace elements of foods.
The application of transgenic technology to modify physiological and metabolic pathways of plants can greatly increase the productivity of crops and improve the yield potential. For example, scientists in our country have cultivated rice plants that have delayed leaf senescence through genetic modification. The productivity of individual plants has increased significantly.
In addition, fish and pigs that express the growth hormone gene show rapid growth, improved bait utilization efficiency, and improved quality, which can increase output and reduce farming costs. The protection of China's animal husbandry, fishery development and improvement of people’s living standards will all play a role in safeguarding.
Safety and Management of Genetically Modified Crops (I) Safety of Genetically Modified Crops In recent years, the safety of genetically modified crops has become one of the public’s concerns. The safety of genetically modified crops has been For some common doubts, make some discussion.
1. Is the safety of GM foods safe? This is a major concern for people with genetically modified foods.
To understand this issue, it is necessary to discuss the concept of food safety. In 1991, the “OECD” defined “safe” food as: “If it can be reasonably confirmed that consumption of a food under the expected conditions is not harmful, the food is considered safe”. In terms of how to evaluate the safety of genetically modified organisms, there is a widely accepted and adopted principle of “substantial equivalence” in the world. This principle emphasizes that the purpose of assessing the safety of genetically modified foods is not to understand the absolute safety of the food, but to evaluate its relative safety compared with non-genetically modified foods of the same type. In the evaluation, the “case analysis” was emphasized, that is, the safety of genetically modified foods was not generalized.
Using the principle of “substantial equivalence” as “case analysis”, it is not difficult to conclude that the foods produced by GMOs that have been approved for commercial production are safe. For example, both domestic and international markets are the first examples of matured transgenic tomatoes that have been approved for marketing. The effect of the transferred foreign gene is to produce antisense mRNA that partially inhibits the activity of the ethylene-producing enzyme gene. The gene itself is not detectable. The gene product, which has no added ingredients in tomato fruit, is as safe as a non-transgenic tomato.
Another example of widespread concern is insect-resistant plants. I often hear people ask: insect-resistant transgenic plants can kill insects and are toxic to humans? To answer this question, it is necessary to explain the insecticidal mechanism of insect-resistant genes. Most of the transgenic insect-resistant crops that have been cultivated now carry a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal protein gene. Bacillus thuringiensis is a ubiquitous class of bacteria in nature. There is a large class of insecticidal genes in Bacillus thuringiensis that has been widely used for more than 60 years as a biocide, and a thorough study of its insecticidal mechanism has been conducted both at home and abroad. The insecticidal protein produced by the Bt gene is present in the parasporal crystals. When the pests feed, the crystals are dissolved in the alkaline (pH 10-12) of the insect's midgut to produce the original toxin, which acts as an enzymatic system in the midgut. The active toxin is released and the toxin is combined with a specific receptor in the gut of the insect to produce a toxic effect. This insecticidal mechanism allows a specific Bt gene to have a specific toxic effect only on a certain class of insects. The mammal's gastric juice is strongly acidic (pH 1-2), and there is no receptor bound to the Bt toxin in the stomach. When the Bt protein enters the mammal's stomach, it is under the action of the gastric juice within a few seconds. All degradation. Years of research have repeatedly confirmed that this Bt toxin protein is harmless to mammals, birds, fish and non-target insects. In the United States, there have been no reports of a case of human and livestock poisoning in corn and cotton grown in large areas for many years. Moreover, current technology also allows the transgene to be expressed under specific tissues and under specific conditions. For example, the development of an aphid-resistant rice can allow plants to produce insecticidal proteins only in the stems and only when they are fed by insects. Produces insecticidal protein. Therefore, we can safely eat the foods produced by Bt-resistant insect-resistant crops.
Some people worry about eating genetically modified foods. After the foreign gene enters the body, it will change the human gene and pass it on to future generations. Those who hold this worry do not know the simple fact that there are thousands to tens of thousands of genes in each biological cell, and we eat hundreds of millions of genes each time we eat a mouthful of food. Human society has survived and proliferated for millions of years. No one ever feared that animal, plant, and microbial genes in food would affect human inheritance. There is also a need to know the fact that large-scale genome sequencing in recent years has found that a large number of genes share homology in the genomes of animals, plants, and microorganisms. In other words, what we usually refer to as animals, plants, and microorganisms refers to organisms as a whole. At the level of genes, many genes are not unique to animals or plants.
There is another way of saying: Natural foods are safe. Genetically modified foods come from artificially modified crops and are not safe. There is a serious misunderstanding here. First of all, genetic modification is not the beginning of genetic transformation. The media generally refer to genetically modified crops as GMOs rather than traditional crop varieties as GMOs. It is a conceptual error in itself and can easily lead to misunderstandings. As the main crop of our food, it has undergone artificial genetic modification for nearly 10,000 years. There are thousands of modified genes and there are few “natural” foods in human food. Second, natural is not necessarily safe. Most plants in the natural world produce toxins to varying degrees, acting as a defensive mechanism in the evolution process to defend against animals and insects that harm them. The improvement of mankind's thousands of years of animal and plant development has greatly reduced the level of toxins in food. However, it is known that many foods still have different degrees of adverse effects on the human body. Many human diseases are related to food. In addition, safety is only relative, and foods that are safe for some people are not necessarily safe for others. Seafood products such as shrimp and crab are delicacies for most people, but allergic reactions occur for a small number of people.
Others believe that before the approval of commercialization, the long-term effects of the safety of genetically modified foods should be ascertained. However, we all know that the main foods we eat today have not been subjected to toxicity tests and have not been evaluated for long-term safety before they are opened up into food. People do not think these foods are unsafe. There are also some foods known to be unhealthy for a long period of time (such as high fat and high sugar). No one thinks it should be banned. The large-scale cultivation of genetically modified crops has reached 7 years, and there are at least 1 billion people living with genetically modified foods. There are no examples of insecurity of genetically modified foods. The long-term effect of the safety of genetically modified foods is evident. The more scientific approach to the safety of genetically modified foods should follow the definition of “safety” and adhere to the principle of “substantial equivalence”.
2. Will GM crops evolve into "super weeds"?
The overall effect of thousands of years of crop improvement in human history is that the higher the degree of genetic improvement of crops, the greater the dependence on the environment created by humans and the harder it will be to survive under natural conditions. Modern crops have changed in many traits compared to their wild relatives, and this change involves a large number of genes. Crops, especially good crop varieties, cannot be turned into weeds by the introduction of one or more genes that are not related to weeds.
However, it is worth noting that there is evidence that the phenomenon of transfer of crop genes to weeds is present, and therefore the transfer of genetically modified plants to weeds should be prevented. For crops to which herbicide resistance genes have been transferred, in particular, the transfer of herbicide-resistant genes to weeds should be prevented so that weeds cannot be controlled (ie, become so-called super weeds). In regions with crop wild relatives and close-grass weeds, attention should be paid to the monitoring of gene transfer and appropriate precautionary measures should be taken.
3. Is it safe for the eco-environmental crops? The approval of commercial production of genetically modified crops in accordance with the procedures stipulated by the national laws and regulations does not have greater adverse effects on the ecological environment than non-transgenic crops. For example, the aforementioned storage-tolerant tomatoes, as well as some similar quality-improved transgenic crops, do not have any added ingredients and are more environmentally neutral than their original counterparts. Other GM crops are beneficial to the ecological environment, such as insect-resistant crops. Field survey data of insect-resistant cotton in our country shows that due to the fight against bollworms or the lack of drugs, the natural enemies of pests are greatly increased, and the pests of aphids are also effectively controlled, so the aphids can also fight or fight less. It is expected that the promotion of other insect-resistant GM crops will have similar effects. If the amount of pesticides can be significantly reduced in the production of major crops and vegetables, the ecological environment in China will be greatly improved.
4. Whether GM crops will affect biodiversity There is a clear possibility that there is some concern that the results of replacing GM crops with traditional crop varieties will reduce the variety of species. However, this possibility is not limited to genetically modified crops. The reduction in the diversity of plant species resulting from the application of superior varieties is a common phenomenon in agricultural production. Technically speaking, transgenes only add individual genes to organisms, and the addition of genes does not change biodiversity. It should be said that in the long run, GM crops will increase the productivity of crops, thus reducing the use of farmland and using less pesticides, which will help protect biodiversity.
In order to prevent the reduction of crop species diversity, attention should be paid to the protection of crop species resources to ensure that various genetic resources are preserved. In the agricultural production, attention should also be paid to the reasonable collocation of crop varieties, so as to avoid planting a single species on a large area and causing possible pest and disease damage to crops.
(II) Controversy over the safety of genetically modified crops In recent years, there has been considerable controversy over genetically modified crops in the world (especially in Europe). These controversies have affected the research, development, and industrialization of genetically modified crops to some extent. . The outbreak of these disputes has a certain relationship with the following events.
1. Pusztai event Arpad Pusztai, a researcher at the Rowett Institute in Scotland, UK, claimed on the television station in autumn 1998 that he fed rats with a potato lectin gene that “turns down the weight and organ weight of the rats and damages the immune system.” This incident caused a sensation and triggered an international dispute over the safety of genetically modified crops. The Royal Society of the United Kingdom paid great attention to this and organized a special peer review. The report was released in May 1999 and pointed out that Pusztai's research has serious flaws in terms of trial design, methods, research results, and data analysis. Pusztai himself was also advised to retire early.
2. Monarch butterfly event
In 1999, Corney University's Losey et al. reported that the feeding of Monarch butterfly larvae with the Bt gene-resistant insect-resistant maize pollen in the laboratory can lead to death. This result was interpreted as a threat of non-target insects by transgenics. The "environmentalist" organization therefore proposed that the production and sale of genetically modified corn should be restricted.
In the summer of that year, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) organized insect experts to conduct a special study on the monarch butterfly issue. The conclusion is that insect-resistant maize pollen does not pose a threat to monarch butterflies in the field. The reasons are: (1) The maize pollen is large and heavy and spreads not far. All the pollen in the field falls within 10 yards and is 5 meters away from corn. Only one grain of maize pollen was found per square centimeter of leaves on the weeds of the milkweed; (2) Monarch butterflies usually did not eat corn pollen, and they spawned a large amount of corn after they had dispersed; (3) After investigation, In the Midwest, Bt corn accounts for 25% of corn, but the number of monarch butterflies in the field is large. In a recent report, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pointed out that evaluating the impact of transgenic crops on non-target insects should be based on field experiments, rather than relying solely on laboratory data.
However, this incident also shows that there is still room for improvement in insect-resistant genetically modified corn, such as pollen does not produce Bt insecticidal protein, so that it can make pollen completely non-target insect-resistant.
3. Brazil Nut Incidents Scientists at American Pioneer Seed Company found that in Brazil, when the quality of soybean products was improved, a protein in Brazil nuts was rich in methionine and cysteine, and this gene was transferred to soybeans. But they found that some people had an allergic reaction to Brazil nuts and it was this protein that caused allergic reactions. They also tested the genetically modified soybeans with Brazil nut protein and found that people allergic to Brazil nuts are also allergic to this genetically modified soybean. The company then cancelled the research plan.
This incident was once described as genetic hypersensitivity caused by genetically modified soybeans. It is obviously inaccurate. But we can look at this in two ways: On the one hand, GM technology may transfer some genes that cause food allergies to crops, so it needs to be prevented; on the other hand, it also shows that the safety management of genetically modified plants can be effective. Prevent genetically modified foods from becoming allergens. In fact, the international community has already had a list of foods and related genes that can produce allergic reactions.
4. The complex background behind the controversy Transgenic research has met with many censures from the very beginning, but these refusals are basically not scientific issues. In the process of large-scale promotion of genetically modified crops in North America and South America, multinational companies such as Meng Sandu have been criticized by such organizations as the "Greenpeace Organization" and religious organizations. When these multinational corporations planned to bring GM crops into the European market, they triggered a worldwide controversy over GM crops. The causes of the controversy are very complicated, including: the relatively backward technology maturity in Europe, the Pusztai incident and the monarch butterfly incident exaggerated by the media and some non-governmental organizations, mad cow disease, dioxins and so on. Market protection and trade conflicts are also important reasons for Europe's rejection of genetically modified crops.
(III) Attitudes of the scientific community to genetically modified crops The international disputes over genetically modified crops have caused great concern in the scientific community. Many scientists and academic groups have expressed their support for genetically modified technologies in various forms.
1. The world's seven major academies issued a joint statement
On July 11, 2000, the Royal Society of America, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, the American Academy of Sciences, and the Third World Academy of Sciences issued a joint statement that the production and distribution of food should be improved to meet the growing needs of the world's population, while Reduce the adverse impact on the environment and provide more employment opportunities for low-income areas. The statement emphasized that the use of genetic modification technology can produce foods that are more nutritious, more suitable for storage and promote health, and will benefit consumers in both industrialized and developing countries. The positive and negative effects that genetic modification technology can have on the environment should be studied through systematic and concerted actions, but these impacts should be evaluated in comparison with the impact of conventional agricultural technologies currently used.
2. More than 3,000 scientists worldwide have signed declarations to preside over agricultural biotechnology. Professor Prakash of Tuskegee University in the US drafted in January 2000 a statement entitled "Scientists Support Agricultural Biotechnology". It has been signed by more than 3,000 scientists worldwide, including DNA doubles. Founder of the spiral structure, James Watson, Nobel Laureate, Founder of the Green Revolution, Norman Borlaug, Nobel Laureate, World Food Prize Winner, and Gurdev Khush, Chief Breeder of the International Rice Research Institute. The statement said: “Responsible genetic modification of plants is neither new nor dangerous. Many traits such as resistance to pests and diseases have been regularly introduced into crops through sexual crossing and cell culture methods. Compared with traditional methods, The introduction of new or different genes through recombinant DNA technology does not necessarily pose new or greater risks, and the security of commercial products is further protected by the current safety management rules. Provides greater flexibility and accuracy for crop improvement."
3. Support from the US scientific community The Basic Research Subcommittee of the House of Representatives of the US House of Representatives, based on the analysis of a large number of research findings and the hearings of many scientists involved, on April 13, 2000, with the seeds of Opportunity: On Plant Genomes and "Assessment of agricultural biotechnology benefits, safety, and supervision," and submitted a report to Congress. The report drew 13 points of discovery on people's general concerns about genetically modified plants and put forward six recommendations. The main points discovered at 13 o'clock were: agro-biotechnology has enormous potential value; there is no evidence that transferring genes from other organisms to plants has particular risks; insect-resistant species cultivated from agricultural biotechnology are not applicable to monarch butterflies and other non- The threat of target insects is practically insignificant; the labeling of agricultural biotech products is misleading and may cause consumers to confuse food safety; the federal government's management should focus on the characteristics of the plant, its planned use, and the proposed cultivation. The environment of this plant, not the method of cultivating the plant, etc. Based on the above conclusions, the report put forward six recommendations, including: Congress should ensure that the basic research on plant genomes has sufficient funding; the current Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed biotechnology products as The subject’s management approach should be modified; the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should maintain its current science-based management policy; the Food and Drug Administration should maintain its current science-based policy on food labeling; the administrative authority should Efforts have been made to ensure that the market for agricultural biotechnology products is not constrained by measures that are not scientifically based; management, business, and the scientific community should educate the public so that products that recognize agricultural biotechnology already have a long-term record of safety.
4. The current situation in Europe Due to the greater impact of the GMO dispute, the dispute is still fierce. However, the European Commission has made great efforts to promote the development of agricultural biotechnology. In July 2000, the European Commission decided to require member states to take measures to restore public confidence in the GMO approval process. In July 2001, the European Commission proposed a bill on the labeling of genetically modified products. It can also be seen as a measure to restore public confidence in GMOs.
Despite many oppositions, Europe still conducted a large number of field trials of genetically modified crops. According to data from the EU Joint Research Center, by the end of April 2001, EU countries had conducted 1,668 field trials. In the United Kingdom, where opposition was relatively strong, there were also 58 new field trial sites and 5 farm-scale trials in Scotland.
5. The response of the Chinese scientific community to the GMO controversy In recent years, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Ministry of Agriculture and other departments have held discussions on experts on the issue of genetically modified plants. Experts believe that due to the far-sightedness of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the 863 plan that started without delay in the mid-1980s and the recently approved special program for genetic modification have enabled China to achieve comparative advantages in many areas of plant genome and transgenic research.
Experts believe that the laws and regulations for the management of agricultural bio-safety established in China's late 20th century have basically met the requirements for scientific and orderly management from intermediate trials to commercial production, and the “substantial equivalence” adopted in safety assessments. The principle of "case-by-case" is very scientific and reasonable. China has approved the commercial production of genetically modified crops are safe.
Experts also believe that China has now cultivated a batch of genetically modified crop materials. Some of them have passed field trials for many years and the conditions for industrialization are fully mature. They should further promote industrialization without losing time. Otherwise, not only will we lose some of the relative advantages we have achieved, lose our opportunities in international competition, but it will also affect the development of research in agricultural biotechnology and related fields, and the scientific research team will lose its cohesion, leading to the further loss of human resources. .
(IV) Management of genetically modified crops The safety of genetically modified organisms has received attention from all countries in the world from the outset. Countries engaged in genetically modified research and development have relatively well-established, science-based management rules. These systems are established. The healthy and orderly development of transgenic research and development has played a very good role.
1. Internationally, the management of genetically modified crops has seen that the United States has the most complete management system for genetically modified crops. The bottom line of this management system is the Biosafety Committee of each research unit. Its responsibility is to monitor the safety issues that each unit may have in biological research and to ensure that research work complies with biosafety procedures.
在联邦政府的层面上,有一个由农业部(USDA)、环境保护局(EPA)、食品和药物管理局(FDA)参与的协调管理的框架。在这个框架中,USDA负责确定转基因植物是否可能会成为有害生物,即对农业和环境是否会产生不利影响,管理转基因植物和种子的进口、运输和田间试验。对于多数常见作物的运输和田间试验,研究人员只需向USDA通报即可。对于一些不常种植的作物或风险性较大的性状,研究人员则需要提交正式申请,经许可后才可进行运输和种植。在进行田间试验的过程中,USDA要求有防止转基因扩散和进入食品的措施。转基因植物的商品化生产前,研究人员要向USDA申请对该转基因植物“解除管制”。为此,研究人员需要提供关于转基因及其植物生物学效应,对生态系统的影响等方面大量的数据。当作物进入市场后,一旦发现问题,USDA有权停止销售。
FDA主要负责食品及食品成份安全的管理。FDA工作人员对研究人员提出咨询,考查有关数据,对基因来源于已知为过敏原的生物,还应进行过敏性的评价。如果转基因作物涉及到毒性物质、或改变食品的营养构成、或含有新的物质成份、或带有抗抗生素的标记等,则需作进一步的考查。2001年1月,FDA又颁布了一项新规定,要求至少在商品化生产之前的120天提交各种相关资料。
EPA管理转基因植物的环境安全性,主要监管对象为“植保型”的转基因植物,如抗虫棉花、抗病毒番茄等。EPA监管具有含抗虫、抗菌类物质的植物及微生物的扩散、销售、利用和试验,还监管食品中的抗虫、抗菌类的物质,以及遗传修饰过的微生物。
2.关于转基因食品的标识各国对转基因食品标识的管理存在较大的差异。美国对食品安全的管理由FDA负责,对食品标识的总原则是“真实、不误导”(truthful and not misleading),要求标识食品的成份、营养组成、过敏性等。他们认为不应将转基因食品作为一类特殊食品,进行特别标识。
日本对2001年4月开始对转基因食品实行标识。他们表示,标识的目的不是基于安全性的考虑,而是给消费者提供“知情权”和“选择权”。其基本做法是由管理部门每年提出应该标识的食品种类的清单。对于转基因的DNA或蛋白质可被检测到、所用的转基因作物原料在该食品中为3种最大量成份之一、且转基因作物原料重量超过5%的食品(如豆腐、豆奶、煮熟的大豆、玉米点心等),应作标识。反之,如果DNA/蛋白质不能被检测到、或在所用原料中不为3种最大量成份之一、或在重量上达不到5%(如油、酱油、玉米糖、马铃薯制品等),则不必标识。
在欧洲,欧盟委员会于2001年7月提出一项法案,要求对转基因产品实行标识,并要求对从生产到销售的全过程实行代码跟踪管理。
3.我国对农业转基因生物安全的管理在我国,原国家科委于1993年颁布了《基因工程安全管理办法》,为我国转基因生物安全管理提供了基本框架。根据这一基本框架,农业部于1996年颁布了《农业生物基因工程安全管理实施办法》,1997年又发布了《关于贯彻执行(农业生物基因工程安全管理的实施办法)的通知》,并于同年成立了“农业生物基因工程安全委员会”和“农业生物基因工程安全管理办公室”。 2001年国务院又颁布了《农业转基因生物安全管理条例》,使得我国对转基因生物的安全管理更加完善具体。
这些法规所管理的农业转基因生物包括转基因动植物(含种子、种畜禽、水产苗种)和微生物、转基因动植物、微生物产品、转基因农产品的直接加工品、含有转基因动植物、微生物或者其产品成份的种子、种畜禽、水产苗种、农药、兽药、肥料和添加剂等产品。
在安全性评价时,根据受体的生物学特征和基因操作对生物体安全等级的影响,将农业转基因生物安全性分为:尚不存在危险、具有低度危险、具有中度危险、具有高度危险等四个等级,评价过程分为五个阶段,即实验研究、中间试验、环境释放、生产性试验和生物安全证书。
在管理上,已颁布和正在制定农业转基因生物安全评价制度、转基因种子、种畜禽、水产苗种生产许可证制度、农业转基因生物经营许可证制度、农业转基因生物标识制度、农业转基因生物进口管理制度等一系列的制度。
GM technology is leading a new revolution in agricultural science and technology. At present, the public in China still has some doubts about genetically modified technology and genetically modified foods. We should adopt various forms of education to popularize life science knowledge so that the public has a more scientific understanding of genetically modified technology and actively accept genetically modified foods. Bring GM technology closer to the people for the benefit of humanity. 2.转基因作物是否会演化为“超级杂草”
人类历史上几千年的作物改良,所产生的一个总体效应是:作物遗传改良的程度越高,对人类创造的环境的依赖性就越大,在自然条件下越难生存。现代的作物与其野生亲缘相比在很多性状上都发生了改变,这种改变涉及到大量基因。农作物尤其是优良的农作物品种不可能因为导入一个或几个与杂草无关的基因而变成杂草。
但值得注意的是,有证据表明农作物的基因向杂草转移的现象是存在的,因此应该防止转基因向杂草的转移。对转抗除草剂基因的作物,尤其应该防止抗除草剂基因向杂草的转移而使得杂草无法控制(即成为所谓的超级杂草)。在有作物野生亲缘群落和作物近缘杂草的地区应注意监测基因的转移,采取相应的防范措施。
3.转基因作物对生态环境是否安全按国家法规规定的程序批准商品化生产的转基因作物,不会比非转基因的农作物对生态环境产生更大的不良效应。例如前述的耐储存番茄,以及一些类似的品质改良的转基因作物,与其原来的品种比,没有任何添加成分,对环境中性。而另外一些转基因作物则对生态环境有益,如抗虫作物。对我国抗虫棉田间调查数据表明,由于对棉铃虫不打或少打药,害虫天敌大量增加,对蚜虫类的害虫也得到了有效控制,因此对蚜虫也可不打或少打药。预期其它抗虫转基因作物的推广也会得到类似的效果。如果在主要作物和蔬菜的生产中能显著减少农药用量,我国的生态环境将会得到极大的改善。
4.转基因作物是否会影响生物多样性有人担心转基因作物替代传统作物品种的结果会减少品种的多样性,这种可能性显然是存在的。不过这种可能性不仅限于转基因作物,优良品种的应用导致种植品种多样性的减少是农业生产的一个普遍现象。而从技术上讲,转基因只是向生物体添加了个别基因,基因添加的本身并不改变生物多样性。应该说,从长远看,转基因作物将会增加作物的生产力,从而少用农田,少用农药,有助于保护生物多样性。
为防止作物品种多样性的减少,应注意作物品种资源的保护,以保证各种基因资源被保存下来。在农业生产中还应注意作物品种的合理搭配,避免大面积地种植单一品种给作物造成可能的病虫危害。
(二)关于转基因作物安全性的争议近年来,在国际上(尤其是欧洲)对转基因作物出现了较大的争议,这些争议在一定程度上影响了转基因作物的研究、开发和产业化的进程。这些争议的爆发在与以下几个事件有一定的关系。
1. Pusztai事件英国苏格兰Rowett研究所的研究人员ArpadPusztai1998年秋在电视台宣称,他用转雪花莲凝集素基因的马铃薯饲喂大鼠,“导致大鼠体重及器官重量严重减轻,免疫系统被损坏”。此事引起轰动,从此引发了国际上对转基因作物安全性的争论。英国皇家学会对此十分重视,组织了专门的同行评议,并于1999年5月公布报告,指出Pusztai的研究从试验设计、方法,到研究结果及数据分析都有严重缺陷。 Pusztai本人也因此而被劝提前退休。
2.帝王蝶(Monarch butterfly)事件
1999年美国康奈尔大学Losey等报道在实验室内以拌有转Bt基因抗虫玉米花粉的马利筋草喂养帝王蝶幼虫可导致死亡,这一结果被解释为转基因威胁非目标昆虫。“环境主义”组织据此提出应限制转基因玉米的生产与销售。
当年夏天,美国环境保护局(EPA)组织昆虫专家们对帝王蝶问题进行了专题研究。结论是,抗虫玉米花粉在田间对帝王蝶并无威胁,其原因是:(1)玉米花粉大而重,扩散不远,在田间所有花粉只落在10码以内,在距玉米5米的马利筋杂草上,每平方厘米叶子上只发现一粒玉米花粉;(2)帝王蝶通常并不吃玉米花粉,它们在玉米散完粉后才大量产卵;(3)在经调查的美国中西部转Bt基因玉米占玉米面积的25%,但田间的帝王蝶数量却很大。美国环境保护局在最近的一个报告中指出,评价转基因作物对非靶标昆虫的影响,应以野外实验为准,而不能仅仅依靠试验室的数据。
但这一事件也表明,抗虫转基因玉米还存在有待改进的地方,如可以让花粉不产生Bt杀虫蛋白,这样就可使得花粉对非目标抗虫完全没有威胁。
3.巴西坚果事件美国先锋种子公司的科学家在对大豆作品质改良时发现巴西坚果中有一种蛋白质富含甲硫氨酸和半胱氨酸,并将这一基因转到大豆。但他们发现一些人对巴西坚果有过敏反应,而且引起过敏反应的正是这一蛋白。他们随即对带巴西坚果蛋白的转基因大豆也进行检验,发现对巴西坚果过敏的人对这种转基因大豆也过敏。该公司于是取消了这项研究计划。
这件事一度被说成是转基因大豆引起食物过敏,显然不准确。但我们可以从两个方面来看待这件事:一方面,转基因技术有可能将一些造成食物过敏的基因转移到农作物中来,因此需要防止;另一方面也说明对转基因植物的安全管理能有效地防止转基因食品成为过敏原。事实上,国际上早已有关于能产生过敏反应的食品及有关基因的清单。
4.争议背后的复杂背景转基因研究从一开始就遇到了不少的非难,但这些非难所提出的基本上都不是科学问题。孟三都等跨国公司在北美和南美大面积推广转基因作物的过程中,就一直受到“绿色和平组织”等民间组织及宗教团体的批评。在这些跨国公司拟将转基因作物进入欧洲市场时,引发了世界性的对转基因作物的争议。引起争议的原因十分复杂,包括:欧洲相对落后的技术成熟度,被媒体和一些民间组织夸大了的Pusztai事件和帝王蝶事件,疯牛病、二恶英等。市场保护和贸易冲突也是欧洲拒绝转基因作物的重要原因。
(三)科学界对转基因作物的态度国际上出现的关于转基因作物的争议,引起了科学界的极大关注。许多科学家、学术团体纷纷以各种形式发表对转基因技术的支持态度。
1.全球七大科学院发出联合声明
2000年7月11日,英国皇家学会、巴西、中国、印度、墨西哥、美国科学院及第三世界科学院发表联合声明指出,应改进食品的生产和分配以满足日益增长的世界人口的生活需要,同时减少对环境的不利影响和为低收入地区提供更多的就业机会。声明强调,利用基因改造技术能生产出更有营养、更宜储存和促进健康的食品,对工业化国家和发展中国家的消费者都会带来好处。应该通过有计划地一致行动研究基因改造技术可能给环境带来的正面和负面的影响,但这些影响应与目前使用的常规农业技术所产生的影响相比较而加以评估。
2.全球3000多科学家签署声明主持农业生物技术由美国Tuskegee大学Prakash教授2000年1月起草了题为“科学家支持农业生物技术的声明”,已征集到世界上3,000多位科学家的签名,其中包括DNA双螺旋结构的发现者、诺贝尔奖得主James Watson,绿色革命的创始人、诺贝尔奖得主Norman Borlaug,世界粮食奖获得者、国际水稻研究所首席育种家Gurdev Khush。该声明说道:“对植物负责任的遗传修饰既不新也不危险。如抗病虫等诸多性状已通过有性杂交和细胞培养的方法经常性地引入作物中。与传统的方法相比较,通过重组DNA技术引入新的或不同的基因并不一定会有新的或更大的风险,且商品化的产品的安全性则由于目前的安全管理规则而得到了更进一步的保障。遗传新技术为作物改进提供了更大的灵活性和精确性”。
3.美国科学界的支持态度美国众议院科学委员会基础研究分委员会在对大量研究结果进行分析和许多科学家参与的听证的基础上,于2000年4月13日以“机遇的种子:对植物基因组和农业生物技术效益、安全和监理的评价”为题,向国会提交了一个报告。该报告就人们对转基因植物普遍关心的问题,得出了13点发现,提出了6条推荐意见。13点发现的要点主要是:农业生物技术具有巨大的潜在价值;没有证据表明从其它生物向植物转入基因会有特别的风险;由农业生物技术培育出的抗虫品种对帝王蝶及其它非目标昆虫的威胁实际上不显著;标识农业生物技术产品是提供误导信息,可能会使消费者对食品安全产生混乱;联邦政府的管理应重点放在植物的特性、对它计划的用途以及拟种植此植物的环境,而不是培育该植物的方法等。根据上述的结论,该报告提出了6条推荐意见,包括:国会应保证植物基因组基础研究有足够的经费;农业部(USDA)现行的、环境保护局(EPA)提出的以生物技术的产品为对象的管理办法应修改;食品和药物管理局(FDA)应保持它目前以科学为根据的管理政策;食品和药物管理局应保持它目前在食品标识上以科学为根据的政策;行政当局应努力保证农业生物技术产品市场不受到一些没有科学根据的措施的限制;管理部门、企业和科学界应教育公众,使认识到农业生物技术的产品已经有了一个长期安全的记录。
4.欧洲的现况欧洲由于受GMO争议的影响较大,争论仍较激烈。但是欧盟委员会为推进农业生物技术的发展作出了较大的努力。 2000年7月,欧盟委员会决定要求成员国采取措施恢复公众对GMO批准程序的信心。 2001年7月,欧盟委员会提出了关于对转基因产品实行标识的法案,也可看作是恢复公众对GMO信心的一项措施。
虽然遭遇到了不少反对,欧洲仍然进行了大量的转基因作物的田间试验。据欧盟联合研究中心的数据显示,到2001年4月止,欧盟国家共进行了1,668例田间试验。在反对声比较强烈的英国,也新增了58处田间试验点,并在苏格兰选了5处作农场规模的试验。
5.我国科学界对GMO争议的反应近年来,中国工程院、农业部等部门就转基因植物的问题组织专家进行了多次讨论。专家们认为,由于党中央和国务院的高瞻远瞩,80年代中期不失时机启动的863计划和近期批准的转基因专项计划,使我国在植物基因组和转基因研究的许多领域都取得了相对优势。
专家们认为,我国叨年代建立起来的农业生物安全管理法规已基本能满足从中间试验到商业化生产科学有序地管理的要求,在安全评价中所采用的“实质等同”(Substantial equivalence)和“个案分析”(Case-by-case)的原则是非常科学合理的。我国已批准商品化生产的转基因作物都是安全的。
专家们还认为,我国现已培育出了一批转基因农作物材料,有些已经过了多年的田间试验,产业化的条件已完全成熟,应该进一步不失时机地推进产业化。否则,不仅会丧失我们已经取得的一些相对优势,失去在国际竞争中的先机,而且还会影响到农业生物技术及其相关领域研究的发展,并使科研队伍失去凝聚力,导致人才的进一步流失。
(四)对转基因作物的管理转基因生物安全性的管理从一开始就受到世界各国的重视,从事转基因研究和开发的国家各自均有比较完善的、以科学为基础的管理规则,这些制度的建立对转基因的研究和开发的健康而有序地发展起到了很好的作用。
1.国际上对转基因作物的管理从已查到资料看,美国对转基因作物的管理体系最为完善。在这个管理体系最基层的是各研究单位的生物安全委员会,其责任是监测各单位在生物研究中可能出现的安全问题,保障研究工作遵守生物安全的程序。
在联邦政府的层面上,有一个由农业部(USDA)、环境保护局(EPA)、食品和药物管理局(FDA)参与的协调管理的框架。在这个框架中,USDA负责确定转基因植物是否可能会成为有害生物,即对农业和环境是否会产生不利影响,管理转基因植物和种子的进口、运输和田间试验。对于多数常见作物的运输和田间试验,研究人员只需向USDA通报即可。对于一些不常种植的作物或风险性较大的性状,研究人员则需要提交正式申请,经许可后才可进行运输和种植。在进行田间试验的过程中,USDA要求有防止转基因扩散和进入食品的措施。转基因植物的商品化生产前,研究人员要向USDA申请对该转基因植物“解除管制”。为此,研究人员需要提供关于转基因及其植物生物学效应,对生态系统的影响等方面大量的数据。当作物进入市场后,一旦发现问题,USDA有权停止销售。
