The number of authorized genetically modified (GM) soybeans has increased worldwide. In Japan, 34 GM soybeans containing single events and their stacked varieties have been approved as food. However, not all approved GM events are commercially cultivated or distributed. In this study, we evaluated domestically distributed samples from the United States (US) and Canada using 17 event-specific detection methods for GM soybeans. Identity-preserved (IP) soybean samples imported from the US and Canada, and non-IP samples from the US in 2021 and 2022 were analyzed. Four GM soybean events consisting of MON89788, A5547-127, MON87708, and DAS-44406 were detected in all lots in the non-IP samples. Furthermore, a single-kernel-based analysis was conducted to determine whether the detected GM soybean events are stacked. The results suggest that DAS-44406 is rapidly increasing, particularly as a single event among GM soybeans.

ABSTRACT Genetically modified (GM) crops are the most important agricultural commodities that can improve the yield of African smallholder farmers. The intricate circumstances surrounding the introduction of GM agriculture in Africa, however, underscore the importance of comprehending the moral conundrums, regulatory environments, and public sentiment that exist today. This review examines the current situation surrounding the use of GM crops in Africa, focusing on moral conundrums, regulatory frameworks, and public opinion. Only eleven of the fifty-four African countries currently cultivate GM crops due to the wide range of opinions resulting from the disparities in cultural, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. This review proposed that addressing public concerns, harmonizing regulations, and upholding ethical standards will improve the adoption of GM crops in Africa. This study offers ways to enhance the acceptability of GM crops for boosting nutrition and food security globally.
