Compositional analyses of diverse phytochemicals and polar metabolites from different-colored potato (Solanum tubersum L.) tubers
Lipophilic bioactive compounds and hydrophilic primary metabolites from potato (solanum tubersum L.) tubers with different-colored flesh (white-, yellow-, red-, and purple) were characterized. The carotenoid cont...

Comparative evaluation of nutritional compositions between transgenic rice harboring the CaMsrB2 gene and the conventional counterpart
As a part of a safety assessment of new transgenic crops, compositional equivalence studies between transgenic crops with non-transgenic comparators are almost universally required. This study was conducted to...

Comparative analysis of phytochemicals and polar metabolites from colored sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) tubers
We determined the phytochemical diversity, including carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and phenolic acids, in sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L.) with distinctive flesh colors (white, orange, and purple) and...

Comparative analysis of nutritional composition between the disease-resistant rice variety OsCK1 and conventional comparators
The disease-resistant OsCK1 (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nakdong) was developed in Korea by inserting a choline kinase (CK1) gene into the rice genome. The key nutrients and anti-nutrients of OsCK1 were analyzed and comp...

Unintended polar metabolite profiling of carotenoid-biofortified transgenic rice reveals substantial equivalence to its non-transgenic counterpart
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 ric...

Characterization of the potato upreg1gene, encoding a mutated ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase large subunit, in transformed rice
The potato upreg1, which encodes a mutated ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) large subunit, was introduced into rice to evaluate its potential to enhance sink-driven yield productivity in this crop. We also ...
