1 Dr Julian Little Chair of the Agricultural Biotechnology Council All-Party Parliamentary Group on Science and Technology in Agriculture GM Crops – so what is in the pipeline?

2 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 GM crops – what’s in the pipeline? Crops Countries Public-Private Partnerships Conclusions

3 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 Remember…  The European Regulatory system is the most robust anywhere in the world  No GM product has achieved regulatory approval for cultivation since 1998  Only one “first generation” is currently licenced for use in the EU  We do have a functional system for import and food and feed use  10 products went into the system in 2008  Only 4 products came out of the system in 2008

4 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 Bt/RR2Y (Monsanto) Low Sat (Monsanto) Omega-3 (Monsanto; Steandonic Acid) High Stearate (Monsanto; DuPont) High Beta- Conglycinin (Monsanto; DuPont) Industry Soybean Portfolio Industry Soybean Portfolio A Steady Pipeline of New Biotech Events Nearly Every Year Processing: High Oil Soy (Monsanto) High Oleic (DuPont) Liberty Link (Bayer) Agronomic Quality/Food RR2Y (Monsanto) 201X 2009 Modified 7S Protein FF (DuPont) High Oleic, Stearate (DuPont) Low Lin (Syngenta) Glyphosate & isoxazole tol.

7 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 Soybean – non agronomic traits High oleic soybean –Oleic acid reduces transfats –Submitted for regulatory approval Low phytate soybeans –Reduced phosphorus levels in livestock/poultry manure –Improved human nutrition through better mineral absorption by the body High omega-3 soybeans –Much increased omega-3 levels for improved human health benefits High stearic acid soybeans –Up to six times more than conventional with improved food processing benefits through reducing harmful fats

8 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 …and not just an empty promise! Long chain omega-3 fatty acids – a vital constituent in our diets but rarely eaten at the recommended levels Up to now, the only viable point of entry for the long chain versions is through unsustainable fishing Now successfully introduced into soybean Crops grown in field trials Human clinical trials completed Close to submission for regulatory approval Will we ever see it on the UK shelves?? On the way…

14 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 More and more GM crops now have Multiple Gene Additions

15 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 What does Bt (insect tolerance) do for your yield?

16 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 Potatoes – esp BASF –Blight Resistance – would have a huge positive impact on potato growing in UK and Ireland –Industrial use – higher quality, lower energy imput. Amflora currently stuck in EU system UK Specific Crops Oilseed Rape – esp Bayer & BASF – Modified oils to include zero-trans and long chain fats versions as well as Omega-3 – Even higher yielding versions on the way

21 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 So what about wheat? RR Wheat Insect Resistant Wheat Drought-tolerant Wheat Disease- Resistant Wheat Fusarium- resistant wheat

22 JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09 Conclusions The first generation simple GM crops are being rapidly supplanted by multiple gene stacked second generation products Different companies have different expertise in different crops Increasingly, crops containing quality traits are entering the regulatory process Public funding is starting to drive innovation in countries such as India and China Where normal business models are absent, public-private partnerships allow access to this increasingly powerful technology
