The new framework will apply after a two-year transition period. It distinguishes between two categories. Plants in Category 1 (NGT-1) have a limited number and type of genetic changes that could also occur naturally or through conventional breeding. Under the new legislation, they will largely be regulated like conventionally bred plants. Category 2 plants with more extensive or complex modifications will remain subject to the existing genetically modified organism (GMO) rules.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkbc-attribution\">Originally published at <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2026-07-scientist-impact-eu-gene.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">phys.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"bkbc-source\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Phys.org &#8211; latest science and technology news stories<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union adopted new legislation on plants obtained through certain new genomic techniques in June 2026.
