Abstract
⺠Non-target risk assessment (RA) of transgenic crops is supported by toxicity studies. ⺠No clear rationale exists for selecting test species for RA of transgenic crops. ⺠We propose a rationale based on methods used for pesticides and biocontrol agents. ⺠Species are selected according to their sensitivity, reliability, and relevance. ⺠This increases the quality and efficiency of RAs for cultivating transgenic crops.
