Abstract
Development of genetically modified crops using modern biotechnology is regarded as a promising way to combat with ever-increasing human population. Korea attempted to develop its own genetically modified crops essentially for the past 20 years, however no example of commercialization has been announced. Here, I briefly summarized current status of development and risk assessment of genetically modified crops in Korea. Then, I attempted to identify a death valley in the process of commercialization. Based on experience of risk assessment of 15 different genetically modified organisms, I suggested that lack of the screening of elite events may serve as a death valley.
