Great achievements of domesticating molecular genetics-based breeding science
"Korea holds the alpha and omega master key of capsaicin and DNA structure"
Byung-Dong Kim, Professor Emeritus, Department of Plant Science at Seoul National University/ Chairman of the Science Popularization Committee and Lifetime Member of Agriculture and Fisheries Division at the Korean Academy of Science and Technology 

Discovering new DNA structure that surprised global academia
In 2009, James Watson, who won with Crick the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 by discovering the DNA double helix, was surprised when he received a book entitled 'Foldback Intercoil DNA' authored by a Korean scholar, like when he saw  Rosalind Franklin's 'X-Ray Photo' in 1952. The book described 'the Foldback Intercoil (FBI) DNA' which Watson himself never dreamed of. DNA double helix proposed by Watson and Crick based upon one of the Franklin's photos posed from the beginning a deadlock problem as it would get stuck while unwinding for replication. The unresolved problems had to keep providing patchwork explanations with new pieces of information. But the book Kim wrote contains pictures of the FBI DNA taken by electron microscopy and its form and characteristics of space-filling model, and its unifying application to existing theories. The FBI DNA broke the paradigm of world genetics even before it was published and a molecular geneticist Byung-Dong Kim is the very person who wrote the book. He has been better known as the father of chili pepper molecular genetics until he retired in 2009. Hot pepper is originated from Central and South Americas, and capsaicin, its pungent ingredient, is analgesic, cancer-suppressive and fat-burning and thus has been an important subject in food, medicine and pharmacology. Traditionally, US and France are the leaders in pepper breeding. Also, Japan acquired a material patent of capsiate, a derivative of capsaicin, that maintains its biological benefits yet far less spicy. Japan would dominate the world capsiate market, but to our relief no patent was granted to the plant material. Korea, however, made a comprehensive advancement in pepper molecular genetics. Kim's lab isolated for the first time the gene for capsaicin synthetase (CS). "If mass production of capsaicin or capsiate is needed through genetic engineering, our CS gene will have to be used, so it is a luck for us," Kim says. Kim's lab made numerous 'first time' achievements; the gene that decides orange fruit color, the gene for cytoplasmic male sterility, and the chili 'BAG Library' that is needed for completion of the genetic map and genome sequencing. According to Kim, the research of molecular genetics and genomics enables us to secure original knowledge base by linking seed industry to preventive medicine and to new drug development and even to basic life science. For his contribution, Kim received glorious tributes including Order of Civil Merit - Pomegranate Medal and was recognized as a great breeding scholar since Dr. U Jang-chun. As a result, 'Golden Seed Project' that will develop new seeds of 20 crops by 2022 is launched and Korea was recognized  for the possibility and intellectual value of molecular genetics from the world.

Korea to use it well of unique plant molecular genetics and breading technology
Kim divides his research quest into practical plant molecular genetics and breading, and basic DNA structure. He has published by retirement 101 research papers. Kim says "the main subject of three renowned magazines Science, Nature and Cell is biochemistry, medicine and human centered. But I have always been a plant specialist except for 4 years. I had a mission to establish horticultural and agricultural genetic engineering in Korea when I came back home from the US in 1987. So I was the first person to start comprehensive research program on chili molecular genetics and breeding in Korea. Since then Korean vegetable seed industry made successful transition from conventional breeding to the age of molecular breading and eventually created an environment to export high quality seeds. And now we are highly competitive in terms of chili and capsaicin as we have established numerous new expertise." Kim remembers Watson saying "the US declared war on cancer and found cancer genes and developed treatments but the occurrence rate of cancer patients has not reduced. I think we need to switch cancer research direction to preventive medicine like in Korea." Kim continues, "I found the FBI DNA structure which Watson could not have done for 30 years. But I did not go over beyond my capacity as a researcher and came back to Korea to prepare for a long term battle. FBI DNA is the master key to DNA function and many of the textbook theories might have to face revision. Active international cooperation will be needed, but I am retired and we have no scientist group formed to represent Korea. But if Korea intensively invest in this topic the nation will rise as the mecca of molecular genetics one day." As a member of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology, Kim currently is busy fostering future talent in the field. Kim says "I handed Golden Seed Project over to my juniors and successors. I put aside the FBI DNA for the past 25 years due to the chili pepper research. Seed research can be done by others but my quest for the FBI DNA is not finished and need to be handed down to younger generation. The US thought I gave up the research since I came back home but when I released the book near retirement they were shocked. I am often asked why I don't publish it on Science and Nature but it was rejected earlier by Science and if I do it now my coming back home would be in vain. Korea, as a country that lost its national sovereignty a century ago, suffered a devastating blow of Korean War, and is still under the pain of the world's last divided states at the expense of world peace, I believe, deserves certain recognition of originality in science and technology. Like in a healthy family a grown up son will have to stand on his own feet out of his parents' protection, a healthy country will have to pass that passage of growth pain to join the ranks of advanced nations. I barely resumed the FBI DNA study after retirement in 2009. Too much attention on me by incessant interview requests and evaluation causes side-tracking and loss of time for research. I wish that an environment be created which would allow me focus on research without worrying about the cost and conventional evaluation and naturally build up propper research group." Thanks to continuous exposure on the importance of Kim's capsaicin DNA research from countries like Sweden, UK and US, the Korean government is paying attention to Kim. Nevertheless, Kim regrets that there is no channel which retired researchers can communicate with research institutes and hands-on workers at a global level. Fundamental yet broad impact considered, Kim assimilates his future role to the conductor of a symphony orchestra. Power Korea wishes that Kim's achievement will contribute to the development of the Korean academic world and industries. PK
