The present invention relates to resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice for biosynthesizing resveratrol at high concentration, in which resveratrol synthase genes are expressibly inserted into the 12 th chromosome of natural rice, and seed of rice produced therefrom. Further, the present invention relates to a health functional food composition, an animal feed composition, and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and improving a metabolic disease, including seed of rice produced from the resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice for biosynthesizing resveratrol, in which resveratrol synthase genes are expressibly inserted into the 12 th chromosome of natural rice. The seed of rice produced from resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice into which resveratrol synthase genes are inserted, containing high a concentration of resveratrol of the present invention exhibits remarkably superior effects compared to when the same amount of resveratrol is simply ingested. Further, since rice is produced in the form to be used directly as food without an additional process of separating or extracting resveratrol, it may be widely used as food, feed, and medical supplies for preventing and improving a metabolic disease. |
