- Abstract
The article discusses the use of genetically engineered (GE) stack assessment in order to ensure the safety of food or feed crop that are produced by conventional breeding technique. Safety issues may arise if there are adverse events that occurred after traditional and transgenic crops have been tested during conventional breeding. Plant breeders consider nutrient composition, agronomic characteristics, allergenicity and toxicity in testing various species.
