Abstract: | Substantial equivalence is a critical concept for biosafety assessment of genetically modified (GM) crops. To investigate substantial equivalence among carotenoid-biofortified GM rice and five conventional rice cultivars having common white (three) and red (two) grain colors, profiles of 52 polar metabolites were analyzed using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The results were compared to evaluate the differences among GM and non-GM rice cultivars using principal components analysis. The GM rice is more comparable to its non-transgenic counterpart rice variety according to the closer co-separation than for other cultivars tested. This suggests that profiling of unintended polar metabolites could be a useful tool to reveal substantial equivalence of GM rice. |
