Abstract
Application of genetically modified plants (GMP) results in great agricultural renovation, though their potential environmental impacts also cause world-wide concern. The ecological risks of GMP, including resistance development among target pests; non-target pest toxicity and host preference shifts of pests; impact on beneficial insects, biodiversity and ecosystem structure; transgene dissemination and development of fitter or more competitive hybrids; changes in plant protection costs; etc require special emphasis in GMP application. For these key aspects, quantitative risk assessment and establishment of risk prevention and management strategy are of great importance.
