Precision biotechnologies have appeared on the horizon resulting in a plethora of possibilities to modify the genome of different organisms with relatively easy application, low cost, and high precision. These technologies make it possible to work with a very simple biological system and have great potential for medicine, and agriculture. Latin American is embracing the technology and researchers are already developing tropical products from its use. The following article explains the operation of these technologies, and some considerations about its regulation among counties in Latin America and the Caribbean region. Survey results demonstrated that seven countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, and Paraguay) have a clearly defined and operational legal framework for new breeding technologies. Nevertheless, the majority of countries in the region have no experience regarding these technologies and lack legal clarity. Therefore, these countries require regulatory clarity to legally differentiate those products of gene editing that are comparable to conventional breeding and those that can be legally defined as a genetically modified organism.

一些拉丁美洲和加勒比海国家植物育种技术的监管现状

精确的生物技术已经出现在地平线上,从而产生了以相对容易的应用,低成本和高精度来修饰不同生物的基因组的多种可能性。这些技术使使用非常简单的生物系统工作成为可能,并在医学和农业领域具有巨大潜力。拉丁美洲正在拥抱这项技术,研究人员已经开始使用它来开发热带产品。下一篇文章说明了这些技术的操作,以及在拉丁美洲和加勒比地区各县之间对其进行监管的一些注意事项。调查结果表明,七个国家(阿根廷,巴西,哥伦比亚,智利,危地马拉,洪都拉斯和巴拉圭)对新育种技术有明确定义和可操作的法律框架。不过,该地区的大多数国家没有有关这些技术的经验,并且缺乏法律上的明确规定。因此,这些国家/地区要求监管机构明确规定,以便在法律上区分与常规育种可比的基因编辑产品和可合法定义为转基因生物的产品。
