Abstract

Abstract: With the development of transgenic technologies，genetically modified(GM)crops have been commercialized. Nowadays，the transgenic crops of single-trait are unable to meet the needs of agriculture，while the transgenic strategy of stacked-trait broadens the functions of GM crops and improves the utilization of resources，therefore meets the multiple needs of farmers，owns the broad application prospects，and is a new trend for the development of GM plants. Since transgenic technology may bring certain risks，it is critical to manage the safety of GM crops. For stacked-trait GM plants，different countries have declared different rules and safety assessment regulations to supervise the new-developed plants. In this paper，the safety assessment regulations to stacked-trait GM plants in different countries were reviewed，which may provide the reference for the supervision of the stacked-trait transgenic plants in China.

Key words: stacked-trait genetically modified plants, multiple traits, biological safety assessment, ruling regulation
