Environmental risk assessment of genetically modified organisms: challenges and opportunities with Bt cotton in Vietnam, v. 4
The book focuses on the potential environmental effects of Bt cotton in Vietnam within a broader context of setting procedures and methods for regulating the introduction of GM crops. The environmental effects considered are those on nontarget organisms, gene flow to cotton relatives, and the evolution of resistance in the target pests. Processes for evaluating the potential benefits of GM plants in Vietnam and the necessary requirements for characterizing transgenes and transgenic traits are covered. This book will be used as a technical manual to enable Vietnamese scientists to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of Bt cotton prior to commercialization. It will help Vietnam and other countries with knowledge on methods that are available for conducting environmental risk assessments of GMOs.
