Brazil Approves GM Sugarcane for Commercial Use Section: News from Around the World On June 8, 2017, Brazil's Comissão Técnica Nacional de Biossegurança (CTNBio, or National Biosafety Technical Commission) has approved the commercial use of the first genetically modified (GM) Bt sugarcane (Bt Sugarcane), CTC 20 BT, developed by the Brazilian company Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira (CTC). Bt Sugarcane, the first GM sugarcane approved for cultivation in the world, is resistant to damages caused by sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis), the main pest of sugarcane in Brazil. According to agricultural experts in Brazil, damage caused by the sugarcane borer results in approximately R$5 billion per year. The Bt gene (Bacillus thuringiensis) in CTC 20 BT, has been used widely for over 20 years in biotechnology-derived crops such as soybean, maize, cotton, and brinjal/eggplant. The scientific dossier which evaluated Bt Sugarcane was submitted to CTNBio in 2015 for health and environmental safety assessments using internationally-accepted standards. Processing studies proved that sugar and ethanol from the new variety are the same as those derived from conventional sugarcane. The studies also showed that both the Bt gene and protein in CTC 20 BT Sugarcane are completely eliminated from sugarcane derivatives during the manufacturing process. Environmental studies did not find any negative effects on soil composition, sugarcane biodegradability, or insect populations, with the exception of the target pests (mainly the borer). CTC will now work closely with producers, starting with the distribution of 20 Bt Sugarcane seedlings, followed by closely-monitored field planting. For more details, read the article from the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA). South Korean Consumer Group Hosts ISAAA Brief 52 Seminar Section: News from Around the World Highlights of the ISAAA Brief 52 Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops for 2016 were presented by Dr. Paul S. Teng and Dr. Rhodora R. Aldemita to some 50 participants composed of representatives from the government, academia, industry, and media at the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp., Seoul, South Korea on June 9, 2017. Korean Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology Scientist Emeritus Dr. Hang Ryol Liu, who is also the president of consumer group Future Food Resources Forum (FFRF), opined that in South Korea, vocal critics hinder adoption of biotech crops. "GMOs are being met with unconditional opposition without scientific basis, but the Korean public must appreciate the contributions of biotech crops in solving hunger by increasing productivity and enhancing the quality of the products," he said in his message. Sejong University Emeritus Professor Dr. Kyu Hang Kyung moderated the event and provided short summaries of the presentations. He emphasized that through more interaction with biotech critics on the safety and nutritive potentials of biotech crops, negative perceptions by consumers will definitely be minimized. He also reiterated the fact that biotech crops and products have been in the Korean diet since 1996 and there has not been any recorded ill effects. The event was co-organized by FFRF, Korean Biotechnology Information Center and CropLife Korea. For further details, contact knowledge.center@isaaa.org. Researchers Identify Gene Against Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus Section: News from Around the World Researchers from Kansas State University have identified a gene that can resist wheat streak mosaic virus. The team identified Wsm3 gene, the third gene known to resist the virus, and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and higher. The first two genes known to provide resistance to the virus were Wsm1 (identified by Kansas State University about 25 years ago) and Wsm2 (discovered by researchers at Colorado State University), but these two provide protection in lower temperatures only. The researchers hope that the warm-weather friendly Wsm3, used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2, could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmers much-needed relief. Wheat streak mosaic virus causes severe yield losses, and in extreme cases, the crop cannot be harvested. For more information, read the article at K-State Research and Extension News. CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Deletion of a Target Gene in Indica Rice Section: New Breeding Technologies CRISPR-Cas9 has been widely used to produce gene-specific edits in both mammalian and plant systems. Most modifications in plants have been small insertions or deletions, with only a few large target gene deletions, especially for indica rice. The team of Ying Wang from Syngenta Biotechnology China designed several CRISPR sgRNAs and successfully deleted DNA fragments in the DENSE AND ERECT PANICLE 1 (DEP1) gene in the elite Indica rice line IR58025B. The team achieved up to 2% mutation frequency for a 430 bp target and a 9% frequency for the 10 kb target among T0 events. Improvements in yield-related traits, such as dense and erect panicles and reduced plant height, were observed in dep1 homozygous T0 mutant plants produced via CRISPR-Cas9. For more on this study, read the article in Plant Cell Reports.
