Genetically engineered trees for plantation forests: key considerations for environmental risk assessment
Hely Häggman,Alan Raybould,Aluízio Borém,Thomas R. Fox,Levis Handley,Magnus Hertzberg,Meng-Zu Lu,Philip Macdonald,Taichi Oguchi,Giancarlo Pasquali,Les Pearson,Gary F. Peter,Hector Quemada,Armand Séguin,Kylie Tattersall,Eugênio C. Ulian,Christian Walter,Morven A. McLean +17 more
TL;DR: This paper examines how the ERA paradigm used for GE crop plants may be applied to GE trees for use in plantation forests and emphasizes the importance of differentiating between ERA for confined field trials of GE trees, and ERA for unconfined or commercial-scale releases.
