Gut microbes that cannot be recovered in artificial culture may acquire and harbor genes from genetically modified plants. […] The author raises his concern on the present understanding of genetic engineering and calls for more thorough examination of GMOs before they are introduced into the food supply. […] This synopsis reviews published in vivo studies on possible health consequences of genetically modified food and feed where the ingredients in question have consisted of genetically modified plant materials. […] Te authors report that pollen-mediated gene flow up to 31 m from Bt maize caused low to moderate Bt toxin levels in kernels of non-Bt maize refuge plants. […] Some poxviruses are very attractive as transgenic vaccine vectors for humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Poxviridae family members circulate in different ecosystems and parts of the world, providing a pool of possible recombination partners for released or escaped genetically modified poxviruses. […] Nontarget risk assessment for transgenic crops should be case-specific, depending on the plant, the transgene, and the intended release environment. […] Showing that a genetically modified food is chemically similar to its natural counterpart is not adequate evidence that it is safe for human consumption. […] r Item 1 LSBC closing signals pharming trouble LSBC closing signals pharming trouble Dr Peter Saunders, Prof of Mathematics at King’s College, London provides a clear and common sense approach to understanding the precautionary principle. This understanding is crucial in the light of the Biosafety Protocol. […] |
