Abstract

The cultivation area of genetically modified (GM) crops is increasing worldwide reaching 175.3 million hectares by 2013. Currently in Korea cultivation of GM crops is not allowed and they are being imported for food and forage use only. According to the Cartagena Protocol of Biosafety and The Act on Transboundary Movements of Living Modified Organisms,etc in Korea, the risk assessment for the newly developed or imported GM crops and confined field trials are being conducted throughout the nation. This study was carried out to monitor the safety management of 8 different confined field trials in Jeolla, Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, and Jeju provinces in 2014 and 2015. For each field, separation of district, management of field facility and cultivation, and management records are monitored. Safety management to prevent the unintentional gene flow by seeds and pollen disperse were well performed. However, as some drainage was blocked or running towards the outside of the confined field, precaution to prevent the unintentional gene flow by the soil runoff needs to be reinforced. In the future, based on the biological characteristics of GM crops, more studies on the confined field trial plan, the monitoring period and frequency are required.

韩国转基因作物环境风险评价田间试验安全管理研究

到2013年，全球转基因作物的种植面积正在增加，达到1.753亿公顷。目前，韩国不允许种植转基因作物，进口转基因作物只用于食品和饲料。韩国根据《卡塔赫纳生物安全议定书》和《转基因生物越境转移法》等，正在全国范围内对新开发或进口的转基因作物进行风险评估和限制大田试验。该研究是为了监测2014年和2015年在全罗南道、忠清道、庆尚道和济州道进行的8个不同的封闭田间试验的安全管理。对每一块田进行分区、田间设施和栽培管理以及管理记录的监测。安全管理，防止种子和花粉传播的非故意基因流动。然而，由于一些排水被堵塞或流向封闭场地的外部，需要加强预防措施，防止土壤径流无意的基因流动。今后，根据转基因作物的生物学特性，还需要对限田试验计划、监测周期和频率进行更多的研究。
