摘要

The environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) crops in Japan requires collecting data from a comparative study of a GM and non-GM control in an in-country confined field trial (CFT). This in-country CFT requirement is used to address concerns that differences in the local environmental conditions may lead to differences in growth and/or risks of GM crops. However, this requirement for in-country CFT has recently been exempted for certain GM maize and GM cotton traits, and instead CFT data from other countries are used to inform the ERA of these GM events. However, in-country CFTs continue to be required for GM B. napus. Our objective is to assess whether using B. napus as a host crop increases the potential for differences between GM B. napus and conventional B. napus that may have an impact on biodiversity occurring only under the Japanese environment. In this paper agronomic data was compiled from seven local CFTs of GM B. napus events to assess the potential for differences between GM and non-GM B. napus for three key areas; competitiveness, potential to produce harmful substances, and outcrossing. Considering these elements, the need for conducting CFTs locally for ERA of future GM B. napus traits is discussed. The assessment concluded that conducting CFT locally is not necessary for GM B. napus events if traits do not bring competitive advantage or produce harmful substances only under Japanese environment.
