Agriculture & Food Systems Institute
January 1, 2010
This document provides a comprehensive review of information and data relevant to the environmental risk assessment of the protein 5-enolpyruvylshikimate- 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). The gene for this protein was isolated from Agrobacterium sp. strain CP4. CP4 EPSPS confers resistance to the herbicide glyphosate and is expressed in approximately 30 approved genetically engineered events/stacks representing seven plant species.
The monograph has been peer-reviewed in accordance with Agriculture & Food Systems Institute’s Peer Review Policy for Self-Published Works and is available in:
