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

Are Mutations in Genetically Modified Plants Dangerous?
Latham et al. [1] and Wilson et al. [2] reviewed the long known phenomenon that plant transformation may cause mutations. Mutations can occur at any position in the genome, due to the tissue culture phase or other factors. Furthermore, insertion mutations may be induced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or particle bombardment. The authors focus
