Abstract
Genetic components introduced into approved GM crops are a key subject for safety assessment and provide a basis for the development of detection methods for GM crops. In order to understand the genetic components in approved GM crops comprehensively, we screened the genetic vector maps of GM crops that had been approved for commercialization around the world. A total of 64 varieties from 5 major GM crop species (maize, canola, cotton, soybean, and tomato) were subjected to analysis. The genetic components included genes, promoters, terminators, and selection marker. This survey may be useful for researchers who develop GM crops and methods for detecting GM crops.
