Abstract:

By the end of 2020 year, nineteen genetically modified (GM) carnation lines had been commercialized in the world. In order to detect and supervise GM carnations effectively, it is necessary to develop standard materials. Until now, there are no standard materials for GM carnation detection that have been reported around the world. Therefore, this study developed a plasmid standard molecule pLite for GM carnation line Moonlite, which has been commercialized and planted for a long time, so that it could be suitable for the application of the standard for GM carnation detection, and could support the inspection and supervision of GM products imported and exported. To develop a plasmid DNA molecule for Moonlite, two fragments of carnation endogenous ANS gene with 1 279 bp in length and the 5'-end event-specific sequence of GM carnation Moonlite with 406 bp in length were inserted into plasmid pcDNA3.0. The distance between the two inserted sites was more than 1 kb. Then, the plasmid DNA was diluted and packaged. The homogeneity, minimum sampling amount, short-term and long-term stability and reference values of the plasmid were measured, meanwhile, the uncertainty were evaluated. The genome sequencing results showed that the sequence of pLite was consistent with the published sequence. Results of the homogeneity test showed that F values of ANS gene and Moonlite event-specific sequence were 1.61 and 1.14, respectively, which were both less than the F value under 95% confidence interval, indicating that the plasmid DNA molecule was homogeneous. The minimum sampling amount of pLite was 2 μL. Results of stability experiments showed that pLite stayed stable at 45 ℃ for 14 days. At room temperature of 26 ℃ and below, the plasmid DNA molecule could be stably stored for one month, and could be stably stored for 6 months at 4 ℃ and below, indicating that pLite was suitable for transportation. After repeated freeze-thaw 25 times, the copy number of pLite had no significant change, which could meet the requirements of daily detection. The calculation results indicated that the reference values of ANS gene and Moonlite specific sequence were (6.13±0.22)×106 μL-1 and (6.10±0.24)×106 μL-1 in pLite, respectively. The developed plasmid DNA molecule pLite had good homogeneity and stability, at the same time it was suitable for the detection of GM carnation event Moonlite.
