Regulation of Plants with Novel Traits: Canadian Perspectives on the “Novelty” Trigger
نویسنده
چکیده
In determining whether a plant that is the product of gene editing would be regulated in Canada, it is important to consider whether the product would be considered to be novel. The following discussion will focus on Canada’s product-based approach to assessing plants with novel traits (PNTs) for use as food, as feed, and for release into the Canadian environment. As the author works in the area of environmental release of PNTs, this will be the main emphasis.

متن کاملResearch in tree genetic engineering; the Canadian context for field trial of GM trees
Canada is in a unique position for the regulation of GM (genetically modified) plants since it is based on the novelty of the resulting traits and not on the process to obtain it. For this reasons the term “plant with novel traits” (or PNTs) is used and these traits can be introduced into plants using biotechnology, mutagenesis or conventional breeding techniques. In Canada, less than a handful...

In this study, a set of experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of EDTA-grafted iron oxide nanoparticles exposure on agronomic traits of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) plants. The experiment was implemented by applying Nano-Fe3O4-EDTA and Fe-EDTA fertilizers applied through spray or soil amendment. A variety of parameters including Aerial organ biomass, Number of leaves, Plant he...

As the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) leads in designing and implementing the new Health System Impact (HSI) Fellowship program, we congratulate Sim et al for their thoughtful contribution to the nascent literature on embedded research, and for advancing our own learning about the HSI Fellowship experience. In our commentary, we describe the HSI Fellowship and its key components,...
متن کاملRegulation of Bt crops in Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulates environmental releases of plants with novel traits, which include transgenic plants such as Bt crops. Bt crops are regulated in Canada because they express insect resistance novel to their species. Commercialization of crops with novel traits such as the production of insecticidal Bt proteins requires an approval for environmental release, as...
