Commercial Planting of GMOs
2
Increase of GM Crops in Countries
with Highest Production 1996-2016
• ˃ 90% of global planting area in USA, Brazil, Argentina, India, Canada, China
• EU:
• Only MON810 corn approved for commercial planting
• Most EU member states prohibited GMO planting
• Planting in Spain, Portugal, (Czech Republik, Slovakia, Romania)

Global Adoption Rates (%) for
Principal Biotech Crops, 2016:
by Crop (Million Hectares)
• >99% of the global GM planting
area is shared by four crops:
Maize, Soybean, Cotton, Canola
• In addition, regional commercial
planting of GMOs from other
plants • Sugarbeet, Alfalfa, Papaya,
Zucchini (Squash), Tomato,
Carnation, Sweet Pepper,
Poplar, Eggplant, Potato etc.
• Accidental release of GMO,
contamination of seeds in the
past years: • Maize, Rice, Linseed, Papaya,
Petunia

Russia
• Commercial production: “Russia does not cultivate any GE crops,
including GE seed production”
• Export: “ Some soybean meal exports from Russia may have GE lines. […] is
the major exporter of soybean meal in Russia, and its soybean meal is
primarily a result of crushing of imported soybeans. Therefore, Russia’s
soybean meal exports may contain GE lines” http://gain.fas.usda.gov/Recent%20GAIN%20Publications/Agricultural%20Biotechnology%20Annual_Moscow_Russia
n%20Federation_7-9-2015.pdf
Ukraine
• Zhanna Pastovenska (Ministry of Economy of Ukraine), 2007: “So far, no GMO
is registered for commercial planting in Serbia and the Ukraine BUT Results of
several laboratories in Ukraine, […] clearly showed that in Ukrainian fields it is
possible to find out GM soybean with resistance to RoundUp […]”
• “Rumours” on illegal planting: GM-soy 40 – 70% of soy planting area
Romania
• Commercial planting of GM soy before EU membership (2006: ~ 100.000 ha)
• Still positive findings

Detection of GM Soybean
Recommended Detection Package
11
• CaMV 35S Promoter
Detection of important GMOs such as Roundup Ready™ soybean and relevant
LibertyLink™ events. The optimized Eurofins GeneScan 35S promoter method also
detects related promoter elements, e.g. present in Optimum GAT™ (event 356043)
• NOS
Detection of Roundup Ready™ (GTS-40-32) and Balance™ (event FG72) soybean
• AgroBorder II
Covers more approved soybean events than the FMV promoter detection method
• Event 305423
Specific detection of Enlist™ (event 305423) soybean
• Event CV127
Specific detection of Cultivance™ soybean (event CV127)
• CsVMV modification
Detection of the following three soybean events:
DAS-68416-4, DAS-44406-6, DAS-81419-2
