Safety assessment of genetically modified rice expressing Cry1Ab protein in Sprague–Dawley rats
Abstract Rice is considered one of the most important staple food crops. Genetically modified (GM) Bt rice, harbored cry1Ab gene expressing the insect-resistance protein has been developed to resistance to the insects. In this study, we assessed the safety of the GM Bt rice on Sprague–Dawley rats fo...
