| description | To meet the growing demand of world’s current population for food, devising specific strategies are required. Production of genetically modified crops has been considered as a suitable strategy so that the number of countries producing GM crops rose from 29 countries in 2012 to 29 in 2013 with 175.2 million hectare cultivation area. Among the developed GM crops, Bt crops with more than 24 million ha cultivation area have been accepted greatly. Although they offer too many advantages, concerns regarding biosafety issues exist. However, no report against the of undesirable effects of GM crops exists, risk assessment of certain concerns relating to biosafety of Bt crops is necessary. Some of these concerns include risk to non-target organisms, persistence of Bt residue in Soil, acquisition of weediness potential, monoculture and eventual loss of biodiversity, unintended effects of gene transfer on plant metabolism and gene flow from Bt transgenic crops.<em> </em>The present reviews emphasis the considered concerns in relation to Bt transgenic crops, their assessment and management that can be used by policy maker or experts. |
