Possibilities for Application of New Genome Techniques and Regulatory Approaches to Plant Genome Editing in Some Countries of the World
摘要
The results of the analysis of new genomic techniques (NGTs), currently widely used methods for genome editing (GE/GEd), are discussed. The CRISPR/Cas system, the most precise and efficient genome editing biotechnology, is considered in more detail. The rapid growth of plants improved by new editing methods has led to the need to consider or adopt new regulatory approaches to genome-edited plants. This review analyzes the regulatory landscape of genome-edited crops and products produced from them in some countries and regions of the world. A comparison is made with the legislation on genetically modified organisms. Current discussions and proposals for the legal regulation of genome-edited plants in the European Union are considered. Genome-editing methods and the regulatory framework for regulating genome-edited plants in the global world are constantly developing and changing, so the authors tried to appeal to the latest data, relying on academic publications and relevant regulatory documents. The publication aims to provide an overview of the various regulatory approaches currently in place (in use) or under consideration (under consideration) for genetically modified plants in some countries around the world.
