Consideration of the case-specific monitoring of genetically modified potato and appropriate monitoring endpoints
2010
Ziegler, Angelika | Wilhelm, Ralf
A study on the feasibility and the choice of criteria for developing a general outline for a case-specific monitoring regime for transgenic potato has been performed. Possible impacts of genetic modifications on non-target organisms are assessed, considering the direct or indirect effects of metabolic alterations of the GM plants. Criteria for an appropriate risk assessment and recommendations for case-specific monitoring are suggested based on a review of the scientific literature on crop-organism interactions. First, we identify relevant pathways of plant-organism interactions through nutrients, toxins, or mechanisms of attraction and defence. Second, we consider the need for case-specific monitoring, taking into account variability of existing potato varieties and environmental conditions.
