The cultivation of “new GMOs” must be studied “case by case”, according to ANSES. NGTs offer a host of tools “editing” the genetic material of plants to improve their yield or make them more resistant.
The technique is carried out by deactivating a gene or transferring genes from the same species, but without external addition, unlike “transgenic” GMOs. Seed companies are working to obtain a potato resistant to a herbicide (to weed without killing the crop)
