加拿大农业生物技术年报(2016年)

Canada Agricultural Biotechnology Annual (2016)

2016年,加拿大转基因农作物的种植面积预计将达到1 030万hm2,与上年持平。转基因农作物主要包括油菜籽、玉米、大豆以及最近新增的少量甜菜。加拿大是少数几个批准复合性状和允许一种作物具有多种基因改造性状的国家之一。2016年,转基因三文鱼(Aqu Advantage salmon)成为加拿大首个获批可做食物和动物饲料的转基因动物。

Canadian planting of biotech crops is estimated at about 10.3 million hectares for 2016,flat from the previous year. The main biotech crops remain canola,corn and soybeans,with small amounts of sugar beets added recently. Canada is one of a few countries to approve stacked traits,or to allow for multiple genetically engineered traits in a plant. In 2016,the Aqu Advantage salmon was the first genetically engineered animal to receive food and animal feed approval in Canada.
