“…The confined trials are conducted under strict management practices to prevent dissemination of the modified species outside the growing area (Garcia‐Alonso et al., 2014). Minimum isolation distances and periods of postharvest land use restrictions depend on the crop and the environmental conditions (Oroño & Vesprini, 2018). Approval for commercialization requires food evaluation, environmental risk assessment, and assessment of economic impact on Argentine agricultural production and commerce (Orroño & Vesprini, 2018).…”

Citrus is a major fruit crop with economic importance worldwide, with citriculture historically threatened at times by a diverse array of pathogens. As a leading producer and exporter, Argentina has been dealing with endemic and quarantine diseases of citrus by implementing conventional management strategies. In recent decades, the pursuit of pathogen‐resistant transgenic citrus has been explored in the country as part of a long‐term and sustainable disease management strategy. Successful genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were created locally, engineered to resist viruses and bacteria for the control of tristeza, psorosis, canker, and huanglongbing diseases of citrus. Although the Argentine regulatory system accommodated these developments, there were also difficulties that demand further recognition and analysis. In the present work, we describe four major diseases affecting Argentine citriculture and a series of GMO‐oriented strategies for their management. We explore the methodologies behind these strategies, including transgenic‐based approaches, the current state of regulations, and what further actions may be taken to ensure continuing protection for citriculture.

“… 32 The main reason behind this situation is the many sexually compatible canola relatives in that country, and extremely large isolation distances are needed in order to minimize outcrossing with weed relatives. 33 Furthermore, the high potential of seed dormancy, which leads to volunteer appearance, requires long times of land use restriction ( Table 2 ). Meanwhile, it has been shown that GM canola has from “low” to “very low” outcrossing potential with non-cultivated relatives in Chile, and volunteers can be addressed with different agricultural strategies.…”

Chile has become one of the main global players in seed production for counter-season markets and research purposes. Chile has a key role contributing to the reduction in seed production shortages in the Northern Hemisphere by speeding up the development of new hybrids, cultivars, and genetically modified (GM) organisms. The seeds that Chile produces for export include a considerable amount of GM seeds. Between 2009 and 2018, 1,081 different seed-planting events were undertaken for seed multiplication and/or research purposes. Every single event that had commodity cultivation status in 2018 in at least one country underwent field activities in Chile at least once over the last 10 y. Chile just adopted a regulatory approach for new plant breeding techniques. This type of regulatory approach should contribute to maintaining the status of Chile as a hot spot for future innovation in plant breeding-based biotechnology.

“…The first drought-tolerant genetically-modified wheat was developed by the Argentine company, but needs approval for commercial release. After the approval for commercial release, Argentina will be the first country to release genetically-modified wheat engineered for drought tolerance [107].…”

Crop yield improvement is necessary to keep pace with increasing demand for food. Due to climatic variability, the incidence of drought stress at crop growth stages is becoming a major hindering factor to yield improvement. New techniques are required to increase drought tolerance along with improved yield. Genetic modification for increasing drought tolerance is highly desirable, and genetic engineering for drought tolerance requires the expression of certain stress-related genes. Genes have been identified which confer drought tolerance and improve plant growth and survival in transgenic wheat. However, less research has been conducted for the development of transgenic wheat as compared to rice, maize, and other staple food. Furthermore, enhanced tolerance to drought without any yield penalty is a major task of genetic engineering. In this review, we have focused on the progress in the development of transgenic wheat cultivars for improving drought tolerance and discussed the physiological mechanisms and testing of their tolerance in response to inserted genes under control or field conditions.
