Resumo: | Technical advances in biotechnology lead to a rising number of genetically modified plants and derived food and feed. Therefore, the international interest in adequate and standardized analytical methods increases to assess health risks in a rapid and low cost manner.&amp;#xd;&amp;#xa;To address this issue a decision support system (DSS), which will be based on baseline data and thresholds of key parameters, is going to be established in the framework of a joint project (BioOK). Determination of the potential allergenicity or toxicity of novel proteins caused by the genetic modification compared to near isogenic variants (NIV) is a key issue in this context. For the development of DSS the model plant &amp;#x201c;potato&amp;#x201d; was used to compare values of relevant parameters of GM plants with those of NIV using different allergological and toxicological methods which are shown in the present poster. No significant differences in comparison of the results of GM plants and NIV were found so far.&amp;#xd;&amp;#xa;
