Abstract:It is a question in the field of food-safety that whether foreign genetically modified genes would transfer from the genetically modified cottonseed hulls to edible fungi. In this study, 15 Tremella fuciformis samples and 10 Pleurotus ostreatus samples (the cultivation media contained 75% and 92% genetically modified cottonseed hulls, respectively) collected from cultivation meida were evaluated by PCR to confirm whether the foreign genetically modified genes, CaMV 35S, NOS, CpTⅠ, Cry IA(c), were present. In addition, 47 samples which were probably grown in the media containing cottonseed hulls, were collected from the large and medium-sized supermarkets and farm produce markets. All of the results of PCR showed that the foreign sequences were not amplified by PCR. In conclusion, No exogenous transgenic fragments in the genetically modified cottonseed hulls was found transferred to the edible fungi.
