Optimisation of qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of genetically modified crops by PCR

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2009
For qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of genetically modified crops we selected the detection of the frequently used promoter 35S CaMV. To optimise the method we used two commercially available genotypes of maize from the company Monsanto (USA),

Using DNA Sequencing to Detect and Verify Genetically Modified Maize (Zea mays L.) in Iraq. [PDF]

مجلة جامعة الانبار للعلوم الصرفة, 2014
: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect genetically modified maize. The results revealed that 10 out of 72 maize DNA samples were genetically modified. Verification of PCR ampliconse indicated that all GM maize were of MON810 type engineered

Feasibility of isolation perimeters for genetically modified maize [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2008
Using geographic information system datasets and Monte Carlo simulations, this study investigates to what extent the intra-regional variability in maize share and field distribution affects the feasibility of implementing isolation perimeters between genetically modified (GM) and non-GM maize fields.

The interplay between societal concerns and the regulatory frame on GM crops in the European Union [PDF]

, 2006
Recapitulating how genetic modification technology and its agro-food products aroused strong societal opposition in the European Union, this paper demonstrates how this opposition contributed to shape the European regulatory frame on GM crops.

Implementing isolation perimeters around genetically modified maize fields [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2007
Due to the growing cultivation area of genetically modified (GM) maize and the rising number of GM maize varieties commercially available to European farmers, the co-existence between GM and non-GM maize is becoming a burning issue in some European regions.

A method to search for optimal field allocations of transgenic maize in the context of co-existence [PDF]

, 2008
Spatially isolating genetically modified (GM) maize fields from non-GM maize fields is a robust on-farm measure to keep the adventitious presence of GM material in the harvest of neighboring fields due to cross-fertilizations below the European ...

Limits of Concern: suggestions for the operationalisation of a concept to determine the relevance of adverse effects in the ERA of GMOs

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2018
Background The European Food Safety Authority proposed a concept for the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants in the EU that is based on the definition of thresholds for the acceptability of potential adverse effects on the ...

Environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants - concepts and controversies [PDF]

, 2011
Background and purpose: In Europe, the EU Directive 2001/18/EC lays out the main provisions of environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) organisms that are interpreted very differently by different stakeholders. The purpose of this
