Crop Biotech Update

Governments participating in the United Nations meeting on safe use of living modified organisms (LMOs) have agreed on several actions to move forward the implementation of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity as a tool for the safe transfer, handling, and use of LMOs. One of the highlights in the meeting was a decision inviting governments and other stakeholders to use the Guidance on Risk Assessment of Living Modified Organisms in actual cases of risk assessment and as a tool for capacity-building activities in risk assessment. It was also agreed that an improved version of the Guidance will be available in the 8th meeting of the Parties in 2016.
It was also agreed that the Parties will continue to identify LMOs intended for direct use (food or feed) or for processing that are subject for transboundary movement, by incorporating the information identified in decision BS-III/10 into existing documentation accompanying LMOs.
Socioeconomic considerations were also discussed and it was decided that an expert group will be formed to further develop clarity this issue and come up with proper guidelines on the subject.

A new report released by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) says that Africa needs to embrace agricultural innovations to be able to compete globally. The report, GM agricultural technologies for Africa: A state of affairs collects current information on the status of biotechnology in Africa with an emphasis on GM crops, and assesses the opportunities offered by and constraints on adoption.
The report also discusses the need to transform African agriculture from low productivity to one that is a high-potential driver of economic development. The authors identified several initiatives that could help overcome obstacles, such as increasing public investments in agricultural biotechnology research and development; improving regulatory frameworks and regulatory capacity; and developing an effective and broad-based communications strategy.

Scientists at Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Germany revealed how fall armyworms survive plants' defense against pests.
In North and South America, fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) cause massive damage in maize fields. Crops like maize attach sugars to chemical defenses known as benzoxazinoids to protect themselves from being poisoned by their own protective agents. When an insect pest attacks the plant, the plant enzyme detaches the sugar to deploy the active toxin. Scientists Daniel Giddings Vassão and colleagues discovered why this strategy does not work against fall armyworms. They found that after the plant detaches the sugar, the insect reattaches the sugar but in opposite stereochemical configuration. Thus, the new configuration prevents the cleaving of the plant enzyme and the sugar, failing to generate the toxin for defense.
The next step of the researchers is to identify the enzymes and genes involved in the detoxification process in the fall armyworm. They will also search for equivalent enzymes in related species.

China's government launched a media campaign on biotech crops to address misinformation about the technology. According to the Chinese agriculture ministry, they would try to educate the public on biotechnology through television, newspapers, and the Internet.
China has been importing large amounts of biotech soybeans for several years, mainly for feed and for vegetable oil. China takes about a third of the world's soybeans, and snaps up about 65 percent of all imports each year.
"(We will create) a social atmosphere which is beneficial for the healthy development of the genetically modified industry," the agriculture ministry said in a statement.
