Crop Biotech Update

New Resource Shows Half of Biotech Crops Research is Independent Section: News from Around the World Biology Fortified, Inc. (Biofortified), a non-profit organization devoted to provide factual information and fostering discussion about issues in biology, launched a new project the Genetic Engineering Risk Atlas (GENERA). GENERA is a searchable database of peer-reviewed research on the relative risks of biotech crops. GENERA's website (http://genera.biofortified.org/) is currently available for public beta test, containing 400 out of over 1,200 studies on biotech crops. Genetic Literacy Project (GLP), another source of information about genetics and biotechnology from plants and human, developed an infographic based on preliminary data available at GENERA. The infographics focused on answering the following questions: Where is the government-funded research happening? Are GMOs safe? Results showed that out of the initial 400 randomly-selected studies posted in GENERA, half are funded entirely by government agencies and independent nonprofit organizations. The government-funded research was evident at the global scale, present in different regions of the world. This information debunks the common perception that GM crops are developed in private, U.S.-based laboratories. For more details, read http://genera.biofortified.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/GENERA_beta_PR.pdf.

International Consortium Releases Canola Genome Sequence Section: News from Around the World An international consortium of more than 30 research institutes, have deciphered the complex genome sequence of oilseed rape, Brassica napus L., more commonly known as canola, the most important oilseed crop in Europe, Canada, and Australia. The study showed that apart from the post-Neolithic hybridization that led to its formation, oilseed rape has one of the most highly duplicated genome of all flowering plants, because of numerous older polyploidizations that occurred during its evolution. This phenomenon led to the accumulation of a great number of genes, 101,000 in total, the highest gene densities of any previously sequenced organism, four times more than the 20,000-25,000 genes of humans. Boulos Chalhoub, from the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) who coordinated the research and federated research efforts within the international consortium said "The main difficulty for oilseed rape has been to differentiate its different sub-genomes. This has been achieved by the development of an original sequencing strategy, bioinformatics tools and the analysis of duplicated gene expression and their regulation." The paper presenting the research results is published in the August 22, 2014 edition of Science (DOI: 10.1126/science.1253435). For more information about this breakthrough, read the following articles: http://presse.inra.fr/en/Resources/Press-releases/Oilseed-rape-genome-sequenced; http://www.plantsci.org.uk/news/oilseed-rape-genome-sequenced.

Asian Countries Prepare for the Meeting of the Parties (MOP) 7 Section: News from Around the World More than 40 representatives of ministries, research institutions, regulatory agencies, and the academe from China, Cambodia, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam participated in a preparatory meeting for the upcoming Meeting of the Parties 7 (MOP7) in Bogor, Indonesia on August 25-26, 2014. Prof. Piet van der Meer of Public Research and Regulation Initiative facilitated the entire meeting and led the discussion on the items to be taken up in MOP7. These include the implementation and assessment of the effectiveness of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB); general principles and methodology of risk assessment and risk management; socio-economic considerations; unintentional transboundary movements and emergency measures; and contained use, handling, transport, packaging and identification of living modified organisms. Featured speakers were Indonesian scientist Dr. Muhammad Herman, Dr. Ranjini Warrier (India), Dr. David Heron (USDA-APHIS), socio-economists Dr. Leonardo Gonzales (Strive Foundation) and Dr. Agus Pakpahan (National Biosafety Commission of Indonesia), and Dr. Fan Li Chou (USDA). Organizer heads Dr. Randy Hautea of ISAAA and Dr. Bambang Purwantara of Indonesia Biotech Information Center welcomed the participants and challenged them on the importance of the meeting to biosafety regulation and implementation in their respective countries as well as on international trade of biotech crops.
