Experts made the conclusion that the risk of the release of canola transgenic form into the potential receiving environment on the experimental field corresponding to the biosafety requirements is average, and the form can be released into the environment for trials on the experimental field territory, should the inflorescences been insulated.
Experts made recommendations on carrying out environmental experiments on the experimental field corresponding safety requirements, recommendations for laboratory testing for the ability to transition to a secondary seed dormancy and the possibility of hibernation, which can be conducted in parallel with the field trials.
In carrying out experimental research on the experimental field without inflorescence isolation possibility of transition of the target gene encoding chicken alpha interferon and marker bar gene to rape forms and wild relatives using polymerase chain reaction to the target and marker genes should be monitored.
Expert made recommendations on the need to develop a more sensitive PCR method for the detection of target and marker genes with an aim to their subsequent monitoring in case of commercial use after passing the environmental, medical and biological testing and State Trials of a new variety.
The recommendations on the need to determine the copy number of the target and the selective genes and their expression levels in case of release of canola varieties on the market on the basis of a transgenic form of rape are made.
