species, describe ways and extent of dissemination and specific
factors affecting dissemination:
Non applicable
Experimental
Release
1. Purpose of the release:
Production of plant and grain under agronomic conditions
(irrigation) and in dry conditions (low or no irrigation).
Total biomass production evaluation under different irrigation
conditions.
Functional gene validation.
2. Geographical location of the site:
Center of France (Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne)
South-west of France (Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées)
West of France (Charente Maritime, Poitou Charente)
South-East of France
3. Size of the site (m2):
Auvergne 1 500 sq mt (2005 to 2008, border rows not included)
Midi-Pyrénées 1 500 sq mt (2005 to 2008, border rows not
included)
Poitou Charente 1 500 sq mt (2005 to 2008, border rows not
included)
South-East of France 1 500 sq mt (2005 to 2008, border rows not
included)
4. Relevant data regarding previous releases carried out with
the same GM-plant, if any, specifically related to the potential
environmental and human health impacts from the release:
First release for these transformation events.
Environmental
Impact and Risk Management
Summary of the potential
environmental impact from the release of the GMPts:
None of the introduced traits has potential effects to modify
the plant persistency in the environment. There is no wild
relatives of corn in Europe and outcrossing are not possible. In
this experiment, there is no modification of the direct or
indirect interactions between the modified plants and target or
non-target organisms. There is no expected effects on human
health and on animal health. Plants will not be used as food.
There is no short-term possible effect on specific cultivation
management and harvesting techniques.
Potential environmental impact considered minimal, given the
conditions of the field trial (location, absence of pollen
production or field isolation, minimal contacts with fauna and
flora, absence of wild relatives of maize species in the release
areas...).
Brief description of any measures taken for the management of
risks:
Release sites located in intensive agriculture areas.
Collection of seeds, destruction of plant vegetative material.
Monitoring and destruction of volunteers during one year
following the end of experiment.
Summary of foreseen field trial studies focused to gain new
data on environmental and human health impact from the release:
