Wageningen, The Netherlands :
In conclusion there are no specific reasons to assume that the expression of an ALS transgene in genetically modified plants, cultured in the absence of ALS herbicides, will lead to any ecological or toxicological problem. When cultured in the presence of ALS herbicides, the ALS containing genetically modified plants and their products can be regarded as safe for consumption.
