The number of genetically manipulated crops and pastures nearing
commercial
(general) release is increasing worldwide and in Australia. Specific genes
are now being introduced into different crops, and different genes are
being introduced into a single crop. As a result of these developments,
regulatory agencies and potential users of genetically manipulated crops
have become aware of the need for a coordinated approach to release of
the crops if their use is to be sustainable.
