Guidance notes for the safety assessment of genetically modified crops for food and feed use
of Public Health, Volume D/2003/2505/16, Brussels (2003) Keywords: biosafety crops genetically modified crops Safety assessment Abstract: This document describes the elements needed for the safety ...
Management of herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape in Europe: a case study on minimizing vertical gene flow
GM Brassica napus). The spatial and temporal dispersal of seeds of oilseed rape may lead to feral oilseed rape populations outside the cropped areas and oilseed rape volunteers in subsequent crops in ...
Relevance of Bt toxin interaction studies for environmental risk assessment of genetically modified crops
combined or ‘stacked’ in genetically modified (GM) crops. Synergism between Bt proteins may occur and thereby increase the impact of the stacked GM event on nontarget invertebrates compared to plants ...
Quality of laboratory studies assessing effects of Bt-proteins on non-target organisms: minimal criteria for acceptability
risk assessment is not obvious. Applying a worst-case expected environmental concentration of bioactive toxins equivalent to that present in the transgenic crop, confirming exposure of the test species ...

Accumulation-depuration potential and natural occurrence of Microcystin-LR toxin in basil
toxins, like microcystin- LR (MC- LR), in edible crops through irrigation with contaminated water can result in human health risks. To assess t he accumulation and depuration potential of MC- LR in basil ...
Evaluation of toxin accumulation in crop plants in industrial green-house setting
these organisms proliferate in freshwater systems, forming cyanobacterial blooms. Studies in the laboratory have shown the accumulation of these hepatotoxins in crops, raising the possibility of human ...
