Introduction
In the last years, the adventitious presence of genetically modified (GM) seeds in non GM seed lots has increasingly become a problem for the international seed trade. The GMO Task Force was established in 2001 to focus on activities to develop a system targeting the uniformity in GMO testing results, not only by the uniformity in GMO testing methodology, but by a performance based approach. For realisation of this approach the ISTA GMO Task Force is active in the following directions:
- Establishing an ISTA Rules Chapter for the detection, identification and quantification of GMO in conventional seed.
- Organisation of proficiency tests on GMO testing.
- Exchange of information between laboratories at workshops and offering training programmes.
