Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

18.9K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

The Central Dogma

The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...

Transgenic Plants

7.2K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

    Area of Science:

    • Food safety and biotechnology
    • Microbiology and genetic engineering
    • Risk assessment in food and feed

    Background:

    • EFSA evaluated new genomic techniques (NGTs) for microorganisms used in food, feed, and environmental release.
    • A horizon scanning identified NGT-modified microorganisms (NGT-Ms) expected on the EU market within 10 years.
    • Assessment covered viable microorganisms (category 4) and non-viable products (category 3).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a scientific opinion on the application of NGTs to microorganisms for food, feed, and environmental purposes.
    • To assess potential novel hazards associated with NGT-Ms compared to established genomic techniques (EGTs) and conventional mutagenesis.
    • To evaluate the applicability of existing EFSA guidance for NGT-Ms.

    Main Methods:

    • Horizon scanning to identify NGT-Ms.
    • Comparative hazard assessment of NGT-Ms versus EGTs and conventional mutagenesis.
    • Review of existing EFSA guidance documents.

    Main Results:

    • No novel potential hazards were identified for NGT-Ms compared to those from EGTs or conventional mutagenesis.
    • NGTs' efficiency, specificity, and predictability may lead to fewer genomic alteration-related hazards.
    • Existing EFSA guidances are partially applicable, with some requiring updates for NGT-Ms.

    Conclusions:

    • EFSA guidances need updates as some are insufficient for NGT-Ms.
    • Risk assessment should be consistent across microorganisms modified by conventional mutagenesis, EGTs, or NGTs.
    • A case-by-case approach may allow for reduced requirements for specific NGT-Ms.
