Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.4K
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...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

19.7K
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.

Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity01:25

Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity

1.4K
Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity refer to the ability of drugs to cause genetic defects and induce cancer, respectively. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies agents into four groups based on their carcinogenic potential. Group 1 agents are known human carcinogens; group 2A agents are probably carcinogenic to humans; group 3 agents lack data to support their role in carcinogenesis; and group 4 includes agents for which data support that they are not likely to be...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

174
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

CRISPR01:59

CRISPR

52.9K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural biotechnology
  • Environmental science
  • Food safety regulation

Background:

  • Regulatory agencies possess over 30 years of experience in assessing genetically modified (GM) plant safety.
  • Current per-country risk assessments for GM plants are redundant, creating significant burdens for developers and government resources.
  • Repeated safety reviews for import or cultivation permits are unnecessary as they do not alter the established safety profile of approved GM products.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a unified global risk assessment model for genetically modified (GM) plants to enhance regulatory efficiency.
  • To advocate for the sharing of risk assessment summaries among countries to avoid duplicative evaluations.
  • To identify steps for a streamlined regulatory process, including a global approval system for low-risk traits.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing regulatory practices for genetically modified (GM) plant risk assessments.
  • Proposal of a global risk assessment framework based on international standards.
  • Discussion of strategies for harmonizing regulatory reviews and approvals.

Main Results:

  • A global risk assessment model can significantly reduce regulatory redundancy and burden.
  • Sharing assessment summaries facilitates efficient review processes while maintaining national oversight.
  • Harmonization accelerates approvals, potentially broadening access to GM plant benefits.

Conclusions:

  • Adopting a single, global risk assessment for GM plants is a feasible and beneficial strategy.
  • Streamlined regulatory processes, including global reviews for low-risk traits, are essential for innovation.
  • Harmonized risk assessments will enable broader and more equitable access to the advantages offered by genetically modified plants.
