Abstract
In accordance with European Union legislation, genetically modified plants must be evaluated for safety in terms of human health, animal health and the environment before being placed on the market. The only GM plant authorized for cultivation in the European Union is MON810 maize. It contains the cry1Ab gene from soil bacteria Bacillus thuringensis, which determines the expression of the Cry1Ab protein. Corn is often grown in monoculture, so there is a risk of accumulation of Cry1Ab protein in the soil as a result of many years of cultivation.
