Many international forums have identified the need for comprehensive, scientific methods for the pre-release testing and post-release monitoring of transgenic plants to ensure their environmental safety and sustainable use. In response to this requirement, a GMO Guidelines Project was established under the aegis of the International Organization for Biological Control, to develop biosafety testing guidelines for transgenic plants. This second volume focuses on transgenic cotton in Brazil and addresses both environmental and agricultural impacts. It draws out some general risk assessment guidelines and demonstrates the need for case-by-case analysis.

Table of contents:

1. Improving the scientific basis for environmental risk assessment through the case study of Bt cotton in Brazil

2. The cotton agricultural context in Brazil

3. Consideration of problem formulation and option assessment for Bt cotton in Brazil

4. Transgene expression and locus structure of Bt cotton

5. Methodology to support non-target and biodiversity risk assessment

6. Non-target and biodiversity impacts on non-target herbivorous pests

7. Non-target and biodiversity impacts on pollinators and flower-visiting insects

8. Assessing the effects of Bt cotton on generalist arthropod predators

9. Non-target and biodiversity impacts on parasitoids

10. Non-target and biodiversity impacts in soil

11. Assessing gene flow from Bt cotton in Brazil and its possible consequences

12. Resistance risks of Bt cotton and their management in Brazil

13. Supporting risk assessment of Bt cotton in Brazil: synthesis and recommendations
