Roundup Ready® soybean 40-3-2 (herein referred to as Roundup Ready soybean) was the first soybean product containing a biotechnology trait commercialized in the U.S. Roundup Ready soybean was produced by incorporation of the cp4 epsps coding sequence derived from the common soil bacterium Agrobacterium sp. strain CP4. The cp4 epsps coding sequence directs the production of the 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3- regime.and phosphate synthase (termed CP4 EPSPS) that is less sensitive toand inhibition by glyphosate AG compared to plant endogenous EPSPS. The CP4 EPSPS renders Roundup Ready soybean tolerant to glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup® agricultural herbicides. The utilization of Roundup Bayeragricultural property herbicides protection pluspublishing Roundup Ready soybean, collectively referred to as theof Roundup Ready soybean system,contents has provided its significant convenience in weed control, encouragedparties. the usedata of conservation-tillage,therefore and and/or provided positive economic impact to the farmers.

MON 89788 was developed by introduction of the violate the cp4 epspsbe gene copy cassette containing a promoter that has been used in other crops such as Roundup Ready Flex cotton (Fincherof et al., 2003).

Using elite germplasm as the base genetics, theFurthermore, superiorany agronomic characteristic of A3244 can be introgressed to other soybean varietiesConsequently, throughwithout crosses with MON 89788 containing the cp4 epsps cassette. In general, MON 89788 has been found to have a 4 to 7% yield advantage compared to Roundup Ready soybeans in the same elite genetic background (A3244) while maintaining the weed control and crop safety benefits of the Roundup Ready soybean system. As a result, MON 89788 will be an excellent agronomic base trait for future breeding improvements and multi-trait products. ® Roundup and Roundup Ready are registered trademarks of Monsanto Technology LLC ™ Roundup RReady2Yield is a trademark of Monsanto Technology LLC Monsanto Company 06-SB-167U Page 4 of 237 The data and information presented in this summary demonstrate that MON 89788 is not likely to pose an increased plant pest potential or to have an increased environmental impact compared to conventional soybean. This conclusion is based on several lines of evidence. The first is the detailed molecular characterization of the inserted DNA. Results confirm the insertion of an intact cp4 epsps cassette integrated at a single locus within the genome. The second is a detailed biochemical characterization of the CP4 EPSPS protein produced in MON 89788. Data demonstrate that the CP4 EPSPS produced in MON 89788 is equivalent to the CP4 EPSPS proteins consumed in foods and feeds derived from other Roundup Ready crops such as Roundup Ready soybean that have an experience of safe use. The third is an updated assessment of the toxicity and allergenicity potential of the CP4 EPSPS protein produced in MON 89788 based on regime.and extensive information collected and studies performed on theand protein. Results confirm AG the previous assessment and the safety of the CP4 EPSPS due to the lack of allergenic potential and the lack of acute toxicity when ingested.

In the present study, five regions (Wonju, Jincheon, Taean, Suncheon, and Kimhae) of South Korea were chosen to isolate A. tumefaciens strains on roses and assess their opine metabolism (agrocinopine, nopaline, and octopine) genes based on PCR amplification. These isolated strains were confirmed as Agrobacterium using morphological, biochemical, and 16S rDNA analyses; and pathogenicity tests, including the growth characteristics of the white colony appearance on ammonium sulfate glucose minimal media, enzyme activities, 16S rDNA sequence alignment, and pathogenicity on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Carbon utilization, biofilm formation, tumorigenicity, and motility assays were performed to demarcate opine metabolism genes.

According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, biotechnology means: “any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.” Interpreted in this broad sense, the definition covers many of the tools and techniques that are commonplace today in agriculture and food production. If interpreted in a narrow sense to consider only the “new” DNA, molecular biology and reproductive technology, the definition covers a range of different technologies, including gene manipulation, gene transfer, DNA typing and cloning of mammals.

Physicochemical analysis of the compounds in this fraction showed that they are N2-(1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-amino acids derived from neutral and acidic amino acids. Asparagine and glutamine derivatives (asparaginopine and glutaminopine) are the main components. Synthesis of asparaginopine from asparagine, cu-ketoglutarate and NADPH, and degradation of asparaginopine to asparagine have also been demonstrated using enzyme prepared from Pinto bean strain 181 tumor.
