Abstract

The introduction of genetically modified herbicide tolerant rapeseed has raised questions concerning the possible transfer of transgenes into wild relatives or neighbouring fields with similar crops. Pollen of rapeseed can be spread in the area and if a non-GM crop is fertilised by GM pollen, some percentage of the collected seed product will contain GM. Current regulation in the EU limits the allowed content. For conventional crops the critical level of GM contamination is in practice below 0.9%, which is the threshold value for labelling of GM in food and feed by the EU, although the limit for seeds is 0.1% in Serbia. In organic farming, the regulations do not allow the use of genetic engineering in the grain production system.Uvodjenje genetski modifikovane uljane repice koja je otporna na herbicide namece pitanja u vezi sa potencijalnim prenosenjem transgena sa genetski modifikovane uljane repice na njene divlje srodnike ili susedna polja sa slicnim kulturama. Polen uljane repice siri se u prostoru, te ukoliko je genetski nemodifikovan usev oplodjen genetski modifikovanim polenom, odredjeni broj biljaka bice genetski modifikovan. Vazeca zakonska regulativa u Evropskoj uniji ogranicava dozvoljen sadrzaj genetske modifikacije u usevima. Za konvencionalne useve najvisi dozvoljen nivo kontaminacije u praksi je 0,9%, sto je istovremeno i granicna vrednost za obelezavanje GM hrane i hrane za zivotinje u Evropskoj uniji. U Srbiji kriticna granica za semena iznosi 0,1%. U organskoj proizvodnji zakonska uredba ne dozvoljava upotrebu genetickog inzinjeringa u sistemu proizvodnje semena.
