Abstrakt: A calibration curve is required for reliable and accurate quantitative real-time PCR analysis of genetically modified (GM) organisms, necessitating the use of reference materials as calibrators. In this study, two types of DNA calibrators—plasmid DNA (pDNA) and genomic DNA (gDNA)—were used to quantify four GM soybean events (SYHT0H2, MON87751, DAS-44406-6, and DAS-81419-2). The PCR efficiency and linearity for the calibrators adhered to the CODEX guidelines. The conversion factor (Cf) was calculated as the ratio of copies of GM events to those of endogenous genes using the pDNA calibration curve. To assess the accuracy and repeatability of these assays, quantification at GM levels of 3% and 1% was performed. Based on our results, we believe that the pDNA calibrator assessed in this study can be used as a reference material for GMO quantitative analysis and can replace gDNA, especially considering the ease of management and advantages of mass production.
