Summary : Conclusion: The use of site-specific recombination or endonuclease systems in genetic modification of plants is not likely to pose significant biosafety risks. Site-specific recombination systems in plants are attractive tools in the further development of precision in the genetic modification of plants. The use of homing endonuclease systems for gene trargeting would seem to require technological improvements to be sufficiently efficcient and predictable.
