Are Mutations in Genetically Modified Plants Dangerous?
Journal 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

Scientific Reports, 2019 Soybean plants are sensitive to the effects of abiotic stress and belong to the group of crops that are less drought and salt tolerant. The identification of genes involved in mechanisms targeted to cope with water shortage is an essential and ...

EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority, 2018 As part of the risk assessment (RA) requirements for genetically modified (GM) plants, according to Regulation (EU) No 503/2013 and the EFSA guidance on the RA of food and feed from GM plants (EFSA GMO Panel, 2011), applicants need to perform a molecular

Biopharmaceuticals derived from genetically modified plants [PDF]
QJM, 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.

Quantification of cuticular permeability in genetically modified plants [PDF]
Journal 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 ...

Cultivation Restrictions for Genetically Modified Plants
European Journal of Risk Regulation, 2016 Directive (EU) 2015/412 allows Member States to restrict the cultivation of genetically modified seed or propagating material, although their placing on the market has been authorized. This so-called opt-out is meant to resolve the current Member States’

genetically modified plants [PDF]
, 2014 The genetic modification of plants is now an established tool for plant breeders in many parts of the world, with the area of land used for genetically modified (GM) crop cultivation rising to 170 million hectares by 2012. This article puts genetic modification of plants into the context of scientific plant breeding, and describes the techniques that ...
