- Title
Biosafety and Ecological Assessment of Genetically Engineered and Edited Crops.
- Authors
Wei, Wei; Stewart Jr., Charles Neal
- Abstract
Although there is no report on the experimental evaluation of the application of novel breeding tools, such as gene editing, previous works with genetically engineered crops may provide valuable experiences for new gene-edited plants. Nearly three decades have passed since the first commercial cultivation of genetically engineered (GE) crops. The vast majority of GE crops cultivated by area are annual row crops that are either resistant to herbicide or produce pesticide or of stacked traits of both herbicide resistance and pesticide production. Genes isolated from I Bacillus thuringiensis i ( I Bt i ) are widely used in the first generation of GE crops and to express various insecticidal Bt proteins in host plants to protect them from insect damage.
