Re: [SANET-MG] GM soybeans and effective proteins
Hi Neal,
It seems to me you have made a very important discovery. I hope that
you will be able to get a research grant to follow up you initial findings.
Nobody has, I believe, published a complete comparison of the protein
profiles of isogenic rr compared to conventional soy and that should be
done. However, there are unique and unexpected RNA and protein
molecules produced by scrambling the glyphosate resistance gene (1) and
Korean investigators found unique and unexpected allergens in rr soy(2)
These two papers show you that rrsoy is not substantially equivalent
conventional soy. Sincerely,Joe

Does anybody have an opinion on whether Roundup Ready soybeans have a
significantly altered protein content? Specifically, we are testing
soybean products as a fish attractant. So far we have been very
successful with a variety of fish and shell fish.
Recently we tried the same types of experiments with Roundup Ready
beans made into meal and then into the fish attractant. We found
somewhat less effective results. Of course one series of tests prove
nothing but it did make me curious.
I have a theory that some of the proteins in beans mimic the
attractant fish find in other fish. But if the GM bean are basically
different we may not see the same results.
