Editor's choice: Evaluating the potential for adverse interactions within genetically engineered breeding stacks

Plant Physiol. 2013 Apr;161(4):1587-94. doi: 10.1104/pp.112.209817. Epub 2013 Mar 4.

Abstract

When genetically engineered stacks (also known as stacked or combined events) are produced by combining two or more single transgenic events by conventional breeding, the potential for interactions between the products of the events that impact food and feed safety can be evaluated and the need for further safety assessment can be determined on a case-by-case basis.
