The Commission “Green Biotechnology” of the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities, in the framework of the IAP-GMO-Initiative, has collected about 240 publications on various aspects of genetically modified crop plants in a literature base. This collection, which does not claim to be complete, contains beside many recent original publications a number of extensive reviews produced by organisations such as the Royal Society, the International Council for Science, the US National Center for Food and Agricultural Policy, the Australian Bureau of Agriculture, the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the Nuffield Council of Bioethics, as well as introductions to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety by the World Conservation Union and the UN Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Global Reviews of Commercialized Transgenic Crops published by the International Service for the Aquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) give a detailed summary of global applications of Green Biotechnology in Agriculture. One focus of this collection is on reports about the application of Green Biotechnology in developing countries.
