Article Synopsis
- Genetically modified (GM) papaya has helped combat the harmful papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), but the emergence of the distinct papaya leaf distortion mosaic virus (PLDMV) poses a new challenge to the industry.
- A survey of feral papaya plants on Hainan Island found that nearly half were GM, with 18.7% infected with PRSV and 39.8% with PLDMV, indicating significant virus presence regardless of genetic modification status.
- Genetic analysis revealed a link between virus populations and their geographic origins, showing that PLDMV is evolving rapidly and may become a major threat to papaya production in the region.
The impact of transgenic crops on non-target organisms is a key aspect of environmental safety assessment to transgenic crops. In the present study, we fed two snail species, Bradybaena (Acusta) ravida (B. ravida) and Bradybaena similaris (Ferussac)(B.

Evaluating the impacts of genetically modified crops on biodiversity is a necessary step before their release to the field and obtaining environmental safety certificates. To assess the ecological safety of herbicide-resistant soybean ZUTS-33, we compared arthropod diversity, diseases occurrence, nodule number, and weed diversity through spraying herbicide or water on ZUTS-33, and its parental control receptor HC-3 and main cultivar soybean ZH-13 in a field experiment. The results showed that there was no significant difference of arthropod diversity (number of insects per 100 plants, Shannon index, Simpson index and Pielou index), diseases incidence rates and disease index, nodules and weed diversity between ZUTS-33 and non-genetically modified control soybean HC-3 and ZH-13.
