Chile Gives Green Light to Gene-edited High-fiber Wheat |
|
|
|
The Agriculture and Livestock Service (SAG) of Chile released a resolution on July 25, 2025, indicating that the high-fiber wheat lines developed by Neocrop Technologies using CRISPR gene editing are not considered genetically modified organisms because of the absence of a new combination of genetic material. Thus, the CRISPR-edited wheat lines are not required to go through the national regulations implemented for GMOs.
