243. Additional information has been identified that may be required to assess an application for a large scale or commercial release of these GM wheat lines, or to justify a reduction in containment conditions. This would include:

  • additional data on the potential allergenicity or toxicity of plant materials from the GM wheat lines
  • additional phenotypic characterisation of the GM wheat lines, in particular of characteristics indicative of weediness including measurement of altered reproductive capacity and competitiveness
  • characterisation of the introduced genetic material in the plants, including copy number and genotypic stability.
