Ecological Risk Assessment for the Gene Flow from the Genetically Modified Crops
Background and Objectives:
At this workshop, we mainly will discuss the present situation of the research on the gene flow from GM crops, particularly for rice and soybean which are important crops in Asia. Also, we hope to discuss risk assessment under the coexistence of the GM crop and the non-GM, too. And, we will attempt to form an international network centered on the Asia .
