Subject

Summary, abstract or table of contents

Consensus documents contain information for use during the regulatory assessment of a particular product. In the area of crop biosafety, consensus documents are being published on the biology of certain crop species, on selected traits that may be introduced into crop species, and on biosafety issues arising from certain general types of modifications made to crops. This document addresses glufosinateammonium (phosphinothricin) metabolites and residues in genetically modified glufosinate-tolerant plants. It complements the Consensus Document on General Information Concerning the Genes and Their Enzymes that Confer Tolerance to Phosphinothricin (Glufosinate-Ammonium) Herbicide (OECD Environmental Health and Safety Publications, Series on Harmonization of Regulatory Oversight in Biotechnology No.11) as an additional module.
