Development and in‐house validation of the event‐specific qualitative and quantitative PCR detection methods for genetically modified cotton MON15985

BACKGROUND: To implement genetically modified organism (GMO) labeling regulations, an event‐specific analysis method based on the junction sequence between exogenous integration and host genomic DNA has become the preferential approach for GMO identification and quantification. RESULTS: In this study, specific primers and TaqMan probes based on the revealed 5′‐end junction sequence of GM cotton MON15985 were designed, and qualitative and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were established employing the designed primers and probes. In the qualitative PCR assay, the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.5 g kg^?1 in 100 ng total cotton genomic DNA, corresponding to about 17 copies of haploid cotton genomic DNA, and the LOD and limit of quantification (LOQ) for quantitative PCR assay were 10 and 17 copies of haploid cotton genomic DNA, respectively. Furthermore, the developed quantitative PCR assays were validated in‐house by five different researchers. Also, five practical samples with known GM contents were quantified using the developed PCR assay in in‐house validation, and the bias between the true and quantification values ranged from 2.06% to 12.59%. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the developed qualitative and quantitative PCR methods are applicable for the identification and quantification of GM cotton MON15985 and its derivates.

Event-specific detection of genetically modified wheat B73-6-1 based on the 3′-flanking sequence

In this study, 3′-flanking sequence between the host plant DNA and the integrated gene construct of pHMW1Dx5 vector in transgenic wheat B73-6-1 was revealed by means of adaptor PCR; thus, the fragment with the length of 3.1?kb was obtained, including a 190-bp wheat genomic DNA, which demonstrates that this HMW-GS gene was located on the wheat chromosome 3B. And the event-specific PCR primers were designed based upon the revealed 3′-flanking sequence; the conventional qualitative PCR and quantitative SYBR real-time PCR detection methods employing these primers were successfully developed. In conventional qualitative PCR assay, the limit of detection was 0.1?% for B73-6-1 wheat genomic DNA for one reaction. In the quantitative SYBR real-time PCR assay, the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 10 and 100 haploid genome copies, respectively. In addition, three mixed blind wheat samples with known B73-6-1 contents were detected using the established real-time PCR systems, and the ideal results indicated that the established event-specific real-time PCR detection systems were reliable, sensitive and accurate.     

Event-Specific Qualitative and Quantitative Detection in Transgenic Soybean OsDREB3 Based on the 5′ Flanking Sequence

With the development of genetically modified organisms, labeling regulations have been introduced that require appropriate detection methods. Event-specific qualitative and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection methods have become the internationally agreed state-of-the art. Using adaptor PCR, we analyzed the flanking sequences of exogenous integrant in transgenic soybean OsDREB3, which has resistance genes. In this study 5′ region flanking sequences of exogenous gene were identified in the soybean OsDREB3 genome, which was integrated in chromosome 1 with an additional 394 bp insertion between soybean genomic DNA and exogenous gene. Based on these inserts and flanking sequences, the event-specific qualitative and quantitative PCR system was established for this line. In the conventional qualitative PCR assay, the event-specific primers designed were confirmed to be specific and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.1%. In the quantitative real-time PCR assay, the LOD and the limit of quantity were 10 and 100 haploid genome copies, respectively. The goodness of the linearity and high efficiency of the PCR reaction indicated the utility of the established PCR system. This study provides two reliable methods and information for detection, identification, and quantification of the presence of non-authorized transgenic soybean OsDREB3.     

A construct-specific qualitative and quantitative PCR detection method of transgenic maize BVLA430101

Transgenic phytase maize (Zea mays L.) line BVLA430101 was the first transgenic maize obtained the security certification in 2009 in China. However, the construct of the phytase gene expression cassette and the specific detection method have not been reported yet. In this study, the phytase gene expression cassette was identified, which include maize legumin promoter, signal peptide, phytase gene, and maize legumin terminator. The construct-specific qualitative and quantitative PCR methods of BVLA430101 maize were established based on the transition of signal peptide and phytase gene using a maize taxon-specific gene zSSIIb as the endogenous gene. The detection limit for the conventional qualitative PCR was 200 haploid genome copies of BVLA430101. The absolute limit of quantification of the real-time PCR was about 20 haploid genome copies. In addition, two known BVLA430101 contents (5 and 1%) of mixed genomic DNA (V/V) were quantified using the developed real-time PCR detection system, which indicated that the developed quantitative method can be employed reliably for transgenic phytase maize BVLA430101 measurement.     

The construction of pMD18-HT-Soybean as a calibrator plasmid and nested PCR assay for herbicide-tolerant soybeans

A multiple-target plasmid designated as pMD18-HT-Soybean, comprising part of a junction region of genetically modified soybean events A2704-12, A5547-127, MON89788 and GTS-40-3-2, and the endogenous soybean-specific lectin gene were constructed. The limit of detection for quantification of these four event-specific genes using pMD18-HT-Soybean plasmid was 20 copies. Furthermore, a nested PCR detection method was developed for the above four genetically modified soybean events. LOD value of nested PCR detection was 0.005 %. The above results demonstrated that the plasmid pMD18-HT-Soybean DNA represents a valuable alternative to genomic DNA as a calibrator for the quantification of soybean event GTS-40-3-2, MON89788, A2704-12 and A5547-127 in food and feed products. And the validated results also indicated that the developed nested PCR method can be used for identification and quantification of four genetically modified soybean events and its derivates.     

Detection system of stacked genetically modified maize using multiplex PCR

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to identify and distinguish 3 kinds of stacked genetically modified (GM) maize (MON810× MON863, NK603×MON863, and NK603×MON810× MON863). Four primer pairs, SSIIb JHF/JHR, C3b 5′/TAP1–3′, HS01/cry-CR01, and HS01/CTP164-3′ yielded 101, 129, 194, and 314 bp amplicons, respectively, Using the genomic DNA of the 3 stacked GM maize as templates, 3 or 4 corresponding PCR amplicons were amplified with similar band intensities by the multiplex PCR. The limit of detection (LOD) was approximately 0.5% for 3 kinds of stacked GM maize, using the multiplex PCR. The detection system using multiplex PCR developed in this study may be applicable to monitoring, identifying, and distinguishing not only the stacked GM maizes but also other stacked genetically modified organisms (GMOs).     

Establishment and evaluation of event-specific qualitative and quantitative PCR method for genetically modified soybean DP-356043-5

With the increasing development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), labeling regulations have been introduced, which require appropriate detection methods. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been the mainstay for GMO detection, especially for event-specific qualitative and quantitative PCR detection methods, which have become the internationally agreed state-of-art. This paper describes the character and event-specific quantitative detection method of DP-356043-5 (356043) soybean. In this research, the flanking regions were characterized by inverse PCR (I-PCR). Furthermore, the event-specific PCR primers and TaqMan probe were designed based on the discovered right and left flanking sequences. In the qualitative PCR assay, PCR systems were established with the species-specific and event-specific primers, respectively. And event-specific primers were established on both right and left flanking sequences; the limit of detection (LOD) was both 0.05% (approximates to 42 haploid genome copies). In the quantitative TaqMan real-time PCR assay, we obtained standard curves with good linearity and relatively high efficiency of PCR. All the results indicated that the established event-specific qualitative and quantitative PCR systems for 356043 soybean in this study were reliable and suitable for 356043 soybean detection in mixed samples. Besides, based on the flanking sequence information we obtained, not only the qualitative and quantitative PCR system for detecting 356043 soybean can be established, but also some other novel event-specific detection methods using gene microarray, biosensor, etc., with target sequence on them can also be developed, which have a good value for detecting 356043 soybean.     

Detection and identification of genetically modified EE‐1 brinjal (Solanum melongena) by single,multiplex and SYBR® real‐time PCR

BACKGROUND: Brinjal is an important vegetable crop. Major crop loss of brinjal is due to insect attack. Insect‐resistant EE‐1 brinjal has been developed and is awaiting approval for commercial release. Consumer health concerns and implementation of international labelling legislation demand reliable analytical detection methods for genetically modified (GM) varieties. RESULTS: End‐point and real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods were used to detect EE‐1 brinjal. In end‐point PCR, primer pairs specific to 35S CaMV promoter, NOS terminator and nptII gene common to other GM crops were used. Based on the revealed 3′ transgene integration sequence, primers specific for the event EE‐1 brinjal were designed. These primers were used for end‐point single, multiplex and SYBR‐based real‐time PCR. End‐point single PCR showed that the designed primers were highly specific to event EE‐1 with a sensitivity of 20 pg of genomic DNA, corresponding to 20 copies of haploid EE‐1 brinjal genomic DNA. The limits of detection and quantification for SYBR‐based real‐time PCR assay were 10 and 100 copies respectively. CONCLUSION: The prior development of detection methods for this important vegetable crop will facilitate compliance with any forthcoming labelling regulations.
