Coexistence of GM and non-GM crops in Australia
December 19, 2008| |
The Australian Bureau of Rural Sciences (BRS) released the report entitled Maintaining Product Integrity in the Australian Seed and Grain Supply Chain – the Role of Sampling and Testing for GM events. This report provides advice on the current sampling and testing capabilities and the future sampling and testing needs for managing the adventitious presence (AP) of approved genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in non-GM seed and grain in the Australian seed and grain supply chain. Potential sampling and testing screening packages for AP of GM events at several points along the supply chain have been developed.
