Socioeconomic impact of low-gluten, celiac-safe wheat developed through gene editing
Metadatos de publicación
Advances in biotechnology in recent decades have led to the development of new genomic techniques (NGTs). In 2021, the Study on the status of new genomic techniques under Union law and in light of the Court of Justice ruling in Case C-528/16 was published, as requested by the Council of the European Union (Council Decision (EU) 2019/1904). The study defined NGTs as techniques which are able to alter the genetic material of an organism and which have been developed after the adoption of the current EU legislation on genetically modified organisms (EU Directive 2001/18/EC). In addition, last year, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission published two reports on the technological state-of-the-art and on current and future market applications of NGTs (Broothaerts et al., 2021; Parisi & Rodriguez-Cerezo, 2021). This report presents the case study of a product developed with an NGT – CRISPR/Cas targeted mutation – namely low-gluten, celiac-safe wheat. Here, a detailed description of the gene-edited low-gluten, celiac-safe wheat products currently under development in the EU is provided. Furthermore, we illustrate the potential contribution this product would make to ensure food security, nutrition and public health if it were approved for cultivation and marketing in the EU. This report is drafted to support the impact assessment accompanying the Commission proposal on legislation for plants produced by certain new genomic techniques.
