“…Rice is the principal cereal consumed in Korea, but the country is facing the challenge of producing sufficient rice for its population in the near-future due to climate change caused by global warming (Kim et al 2015). The limitations of current breeding techniques to solve the food production problems are being addressed by biotechnology, a modern technique, and the crops developed through this technique are known as genetically modified (GM) crops (Lee & Suh 2011;Oh et al 2016b).…”

“…Currently, although research on their development and cultivation is ongoing, there is no commercial production of GM crops in Korea. Despite the positive aspects of GM crops, many concerns such as potential toxicities and allergies, gene flow, weeds, generation of new types of toxins and viruses, disruption to ecosystems, and environmental impacts are also emerging (Oh et al 2016b). In response to these concerns, Korean studies are evaluating the safety of GM crops, with emphasis on biodiversity research through quantitative studies of species, population changes, and surrounding ecosystems (Amin et al 2020;Choi et al 2015;Kwon 2008).…”

Transgenic rice (Bt-T event) shows resistance against rice leaf roller (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis) by expressing a toxic protein (mCry1Ac1) mediated from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. Environmental risk assessment of Bt-T event, in addition to the parent variety Dongjin-byeo and cultivar Ilmi-byeo, was performed during the rice cultivation seasons of 2016 and 2017 at LMO quarantine fields in Gunwi and Jeonju, Korea. Non-target arthropods (insects and spiders) were captured using an aspirator from the three rice ecosystems of both locations, and in total 39,734 individuals of 57 families and 11 orders were collected. The numbers of individuals collected from the Bt-T, Dongjin-byeo and Ilmi-byeo rice ecosystems were 12,899, 12,730, and 14,105, respectively, which did not differ significantly among rice ecosystems. The dominance, diversity, evenness, and richness indices of the collected insects were not statistically different among the rice ecosystems, but significant variations between the two locations and survey years were detected. Principal component analysis showed that insects and spiders in the Bt-T, Dongjinbyeo, and Ilmi-byeo rice ecosystems were separated by the study locations and years irrespective of rice variety. In conclusion, results obtained in two consecutive years from two non-genetically modified rice ecosystems and a Bt-T rice ecosystem showed that the Bt-T rice had no significant negative impacts on the above-ground insect and spider communities.
