Are Mutations in Genetically Modified Plants Dangerous?

open access: yesJournal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2007
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

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

Microscopic Analysis of Severe Structural Rearrangements of the Plant Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Caused by Overexpression of Poa semilatent virus Movement Protein

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
Cell-to-cell transport of plant viruses is mediated by virus-encoded movement proteins and occurs through plasmodesmata interconnecting neighboring cells in plant tissues.

Risk Assessment Considerations for Genetically Modified RNAi Plants: EFSA’s Activities and Perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Genetically modified plants (GMPs) intended for market release can be designed to induce “gene silencing” through RNA interference (RNAi). The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and other international risk assessment bodies/regulatory agencies have ...

Biopharmaceuticals derived from genetically modified plants [PDF]

open access: yesQJM, 2004
Modern biotechnology has resulted in a resurgence of interest in the production of new therapeutic agents using botanical sources. With nearly 500 biotechnology products approved or in development globally, and with production capacity limited, the need for efficient means of therapeutic protein production is apparent.

Assessing Impacts of Transgenic Plants on Soil Using Functional Indicators: Twenty Years of Research and Perspectives

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Assessment of the effects of transgenic plants on microbiota and soil fertility is an important part of the overall assessment of their biosafety. However, the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants has long been focused on the ...

Regulatory Policies On Genetically Modified Plants In Indonesia

open access: yesAgricultura, 2017
In 2005, an estimated acreage of genetically modified plant (GMP) is 90 million hectares compared to 81 million hectares in 2004. The GMP is to be done along with the increasing human needs.

Quantification of cuticular permeability in genetically modified plants [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2006
More and more studies on genetically modified plants are identifying parts of the genetic code with putative involvement in creating the cuticular barrier. Unfortunately, many of these studies suffer from the inadequacy of the chosen methods to quantify, in a reasonably unambiguous way, if and how the efficacy of the cuticular barrier is affected by ...
