“…Hence, the three species of the subgenus Soja are capable of cross-pollination and the hybrid seed that is produced can germinate normally and produce plants with fertile pollen and seed (Abe et al, 1999, Nakayama andYamaguchi, 2002). However, since Glycine soja and Glycine gracilis are indigenous to China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, the Far East Region of Russia, Australia, the Philippines and South Pacific, and since they have not been reported in other parts of the world, where the cultivated soybean is grown (Dorokhov et al, 2004, Lu, 2005, the plant to plant gene transfer from soybean is restricted to cultivated areas and the occasional soybean plants resulting from seed spillage in the EU.…”

This scientific opinion is an evaluation of a risk assessment for the genetically modified herbicide tolerant soybean A5547-127 for food and feed uses, import and processing. Soybean A5547-127 was developed through particle bombardment. It contains a single insertion site consisting of a copy of the intact pat expression cassette, encoding the PAT protein that confers tolerance to glufosinateammonium containing herbicides. Other inserted sequences include two truncated parts of the betalactamase (bla) gene from the transformation vector on each side of the pat expression cassette. The stability of the inserted DNA was confirmed over multiple generations. The results of the bioinformatic analyses of the insert and the flanking regions, and the levels of newly expressed protein did not raise a safety concern. The comparative analysis of compositional, phenotypic and agronomic characteristics indicated that soybean A5547-127 is not different from its conventional counterpart (A5547), except for the newly expressed protein (PAT). The safety assessment of the PAT protein and the soybean A5547-127 identified no concerns regarding potential toxicity and allergenicity. A feeding study on broiler chickens confirmed that seeds of soybean A5547-127 are as nutritional as seeds of the conventional counterpart. There are no indications of an increased likelihood of establishment and spread of feral soybean plants, except in the presence of the glufosinate-ammonium containing herbicides. The risk caused by a possible transfer of the recombinant gene from soybean A5547-127 to environmental micro-organisms is regarded to be negligible due to the lack of any advantage that would be conferred in the context of its intended uses. The potential interactions of the GM plant with target organisms, non-target organisms and the abiotic environment and biogeochemical cycles were not considered an issue by the EFSA GMO Panel. The monitoring plan and reporting intervals are in line with the intended uses of soybean A5547-127. The EFSA GMO Panel considers that the

This scientific opinion is an evaluation of a risk assessment for the genetically modified herbicide tolerant soybean 356043 for food and feed uses, import and processing. Soybean 356043 contains a single copy of intact gat4601 and Glycine max‐hra cassettes at a single insertion locus. The results of the bioinformatic analyses of the insert and the flanking regions, and the levels of newly expressed proteins did not raise a safety concern. The comparative analysis of phenotypic and agronomic characteristics indicated that soybean 356043 is not different from its conventional counterpart. In the composition, differences were identified between 356043 soybean and its conventional counterpart in the newly expressed proteins Glycine max‐HRA and GAT4601, and the levels of the fatty acids heptadecanoic, heptadecenoic and heptadecadienoic acid and the acetylated amino acids N‐acetylaspartate (NAA) and N‐acetylglutamate (NAG). The safety assessment of the newly expressed proteins Glycine max‐HRA and GAT4601 identified no concerns regarding potential toxicity and allergenicity. Heptadecanoic, heptadecenoic and heptadecadienoic acid are present in the diet and the intake of small amounts of these fatty acids via food or feed is not expected to produce adverse effects. NAA and NAG are normal constituents in the mammalian metabolism and the estimated increases in their intake are considered low when related to the normal intake of L‐aspartic acid and L‐glutamic acid. Further toxicological, allergenicity and nutritional analysis provided no indications of adverse effects. There are no indications of an increased likelihood of establishment and spread of feral soybean plants, except in the presence of the glyphosate and ALS‐inhibiting herbicides neither a risk caused by a possible transfer of the recombinant gene from soybean 356043 to environmental micro‐organisms. The EFSA GMO Panel considers that the information available for soybean 356043 addresses the scientific comments raised by the Member States and states that the soybean 356043, as described in this application, is as safe as its conventional counterpart with respect to potential effects on human and animal health and the environment in the context of its intended uses.

Increased imports of genetically modified (GM) soybean and maize might cause genetic contamination of those crops that are conventionally bred, as well as wild soybeans within Korea. Leaves of maize and both cultivated and wild soybeans were sampled in and near rural fields to detect the presence of transgenes. Roadsides around a major grain port in Incheon were also surveyed to monitor the occurrence of incoming GM soybean and maize. The amplificabUity of DNA extracted from the collected samples was determined by PCR using soybean-or maize-specific primers: lectin and zein genes, respectively. The presence or absence of transgenes was detected by primer sets for the 35S and nos genes. Transgenes were not found in the cultivated or wild soybean or in the maize collected from cultivated fields. However, we obtained one GM maize plant among seven along the roadsides around Incheon Port. Although the effect of a single GM maize plant would be negligible and would not pose any threat to natural environments, an increase in the import of GM plants might lead to future, unapproved cultivation of GM crops. Therefore, appropriate monitoring is necessary to detect the occurrence of GM plants in areas around grain receiving ports and within agroecosystems.
