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

Construction of complete degradation pathway for nitrobenzene in Escherichia coli

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Nitrobenzene is widely present in industrial wastewater and soil. Biodegradation has become an ideal method to remediate organic pollutants due to its low cost, high efficiency, and absence of secondary pollution. In the present study, 10 exogenous genes

The Development of a Series of Genomic DNA Reference Materials with Specific Copy Number Ratios for The Detection of Genetically Modified Maize DBN9936

Foods
The genetically modified (GM) maize DBN9936 with a biosafety certificate will soon undergo commercial application. To monitor the safety of DBN9936 maize, three genomic DNA (gDNA) reference materials (RMs) (DBN9936a, DBN9936b, and DBN9936c) were prepared

Genetically Modified Organisms:

the key tension in the debate around genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is the possible – and typically assumed – tension between safety and sustainability in using GMOs (genetic engineering and gene editing techniques) in the agri-food supply. This chapter presents the two sides of the GMO debate from a legal perspective by focusing on three sub ...

RNAi of vATPasea Affects Survival and Larval-Pupal Development in Plutella xylostella

Insects
The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, is a major pest of brassica vegetables and oilseed crops, posing a serious threat to China’s grain and oil production. RNA interference (RNAi) has been developed as an efficient strategy to control pests.
