Regulatory approaches for genome edited agricultural plants in select countries and jurisdictions around the world

Jon Entine et al.

Summary: Genome editing in agriculture and food has resulted in new and improved crops and products. The commercialization of these may or may not require approval from regulatory authorities depending on the country or region. This paper provides an overview of the regulatory landscape governing genome edited agriculture and food products in selected countries and regions.

Public Consultation on Proposed Revisions to Norway's Gene Technology Act: An Analysis of the Consultation Framing, Stakeholder Concerns, and the Integration of Non-Safety Considerations

Sigfrid Kjeldaas et al.

Summary: The study critically analyzes the process of proposing relaxation of regulations on GMOs in Norway, finding unequal treatment of stakeholder concerns and a reduction in discussion of broader social, cultural, and ethical issues. To prevent such narrowing of stakeholder concerns in the future, the study proposes using Latour's model for political economy as a tool to gauge the openness of consultations for biotechnology regulation.

Non-GM Genome Editing Approaches in Crops

Zheng Gong et al.

Summary: CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing technologies have the potential to fast-track large-scale crop breeding programs, but face challenges with delivery efficiency and public acceptance. Transgene-free genome editing methods address these challenges and hold promise for future applications, including the use of preassembled CRISPR/Cas ribonucleoproteins and viral vectors. Further exploration and development of these technologies is needed for widespread implementation.
