Economic and environmental impacts of disease-resistant crops developed with cisgenesis

Economic and environmental impacts of disease-resistant crops developed with cisgenesis

Metadatos de publicación

In the 2021 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, the European Commission defines New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) as techniques developed after the publication of Directive 2001/18/EC that are able to alter the genetic material of an organism. Also in 2021, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission published reports on the technological state-of-the-art and on current and future market applications of NGTs (Broothaerts et al., 2021; C. Parisi & Rodriguez-Cerezo, 2021). In this report, we present two case studies on crops with improved biotic resistances that were developed with an NGT. Namely, cisgenic potatoes resistant to Phytophthora infestans and cisgenic apples resistant to Venturia inaequalis. We discuss the potential advantages of cisgenesis in tackling the challenges breeders currently face in the development of varieties with improved biotic resistances, and assess potential impacts that these varieties could have for the European agri-food system.
