Abstract: Substantial equivalence is widely accepted as assessment of feeds from genetically modified plants without changes in the composition. But this concept is not adequate for those with output traits, especially concerning their nutritive feeding value. The objective of this study is to evaluate rapeseed and potatoes belonging to the second generation of GM-plants… Although the modifications of the rapeseed and the potato were composition related (the GM-rapeseed showed substantial differences in the fatty acid profile and the GM-potatoes in the carbohydrate fraction), the effect on their production potential was only marginal. However, these modifications were found to be associated with higher concentrations of undesirable substances.
Keywords: substantial equivalence, GM-rapeseed, GM-potato, second generation GM-plants, nutritive feeding value
