Abstract:

The reference material has three typical characteristics of characterization value, homogeneity and stability, which was used as the scale of biological measurement. The development of reference materials for genetically modified organisms was one of the key technologies for the implementation of the GMO labeling system in China. In this study, a novel plasmid DNA standard substance pTC1507 specific to the transgene maize TC1507 was produced, and its homogeneity, stability and characterization were evaluated and measured. The results showed that the pTC1507 had good homogeneity between and within bottles. The stability of pTC1507 was reliable, and it could be stably placed at -20 ℃ for 6 months at least. After sequencing, quantitative real-time PCR analysis, and uncertainty evaluation, the characterization value of pTC1507 was 1.01±0.053. The results of homogeneity, stability and characterization evaluation showed that pTC1507 was satisfied with the typical requirements of reference materials and could replace the conventional matrix-based reference materials in the detection of transgenic maize. The developed plasmid reference material showed the advantages of easy producing, simple preparation, and low cost.

Key words: genetically modified maize, TC1507, plasmid DNA reference material, characterization value
