United StatesThe U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) recently reviewed the following plants modified using genetic engineering to determine whether they posed an increased plant pest risk relative to non-modified comparators:
Plants modified for altered product quality
CoverCress, two pennycress
Hjelle Advisors, rice
Toolgen, soybean
Plant modified for increased yield
Inari, two soybean
Plant modified for altered flowering and growth habit
Better Seeds, cowpea
APHIS found these modified plants were unlikely to pose an increased plant pest risk compared to other cultivated plants. As a result, they are not subject to regulation under 7 CFR part 340. From a plant pest risk perspective, these modified plants may be safely grown and bred in the United States.
