Abstract:Assess of impacts of genetically modified (GM) crops on biodiversity is an essential part in the safety assessment of genetically modified plants, and also an important index whether the genetically modified plants have significant potential environmental risk. In this experiment, the geneticallymodified high oleic soybean HOA80, its non transgenic receptor soybean SW80, and control soybean variety ‘Jiyu 71’were used and their impacts on insect species, indicating insect populations, soybean diseases and soybean nodulation were evaluated.The results showed that genetically modified high oleic soybean HOA80 had no significant impacts on insect species, indicating insect populations, soybean diseases and soybean nodulation, comparing to non transgenic soybean SW80 and control variety ‘Jiyu 71’. These results indicated there is no potential risk to agricultural ecological environment for growing the geneticallymodified high oleic soybean HOA80.
