Abstract :Increasing world population needs to enhance agricultural production because of food starvation. Genetically modified organism insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GMO); is a way to solve this problem. During gene transfers, DNA is inserted into a plant’s genome in a random way. This produces spontaneous genetic changes with movement of transposable elements, and even increases variations. Houba was described as one of the active retrotransposons in rice. The aim of this study was to screen rice samples collected from Turkey, and analyse Houba retrotransposon movements with IRAP technique in transgenic ones and their controls. For this purpose, 71 different rice seeds obtained from different regions of Turkey were used for GMO analysis. All samples were screened by real time PCR to test cauliflower mosaic virus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CaMV); 35S promoter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P-35S); regions, T-NOS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(nopaline synthase terminator); regions, figwort mosaic virus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FMV); regions, bar, pat and Cry1ab/ac, and hpt insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hygromycin resistance); genes. Hpt gene was identified in 6 samples as a result of real time PCR analysis. These 6 transgenic samples with their controls were used for IRAP-PCR analysis and 0-56% polymorphism ratios were observed in analysed samples. This study is one of the first detailed experimental data of transgenic Oryza sativa L. samples in terms of retrotransposon-based variation.
