The possibility of induction of somatic embryogenesis in Polish and Chinese soybean cultivars was studied. Cotyledons from immature embryos as explants were used. Somatic embryos were obtained on MS medium with 40 mg l-1 of 2,4-D after 3-4 weeks of culture. Embryos appeared on 45,5% of Polan explants and the highest average number of somatic embryos per explant ? 29,2 was produced by cultivar Polan, too. The best development of somatic embryos was obserced on the MS medium with 0,5 mg l-1 KT and 0,5 mg l-1 BA and next on the hormone free medium with 60,0 g l-1 of sucrose and 0,5% activated charcoal.

The paper provides an overview of the most important in vivo experiments, concerning herbicide tolerant soybean and Bt maize, quoted by the opponents of GMOs, as to justify opposition to the use of GM crops in animal feed and food production. The results of these experiments were confronted with similar studies performed by other research teams. Relatively few in vivo experiments have demonstrated significant differences in selected parameters of metabolic and health status of animals fed diets with soya or GM maize diets. Concluding on that basis that HT soybean and Bt maize may pose health threat to animals and humans is not eligible.
