#^EU Eases Rules for Plants Created Through Gene Editing“The European Union has agreed a new set of rules for plants created using genomic technologies, Euronews reports.
The new framework covers key issues such as how such products should be labelled in supermarkets and whether they can be patented.
New genomic technologies, such as gene editing, are breeding techniques that allow small parts of the genetic material of animals, plants or microorganisms (such as yeast or bacteria). They do not require the introduction of foreign genetic material or DNA from another species.
This distinguishes them from older methods used to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which involve inserting foreign genetic material into an organism to create a hybrid.”
