This table is the result of a multi-stage literature screening process. In a first step, we searched established literature databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar) with a large selection of keywords related to gene or genome-edited plants, cisgenesis, New Plant Breeding Techniques, and New Genomic Techniques. After a first screening on whether the papers included an empirical study of attitudes or opinions, we followed the snowball strategy and included selected references cited in the papers. From this still growing database, this table only shows those studies concerned with GEOs. Further, articles not reporting new data (e.g., reviews) are not included. n.a., non applicable; Y, yes; N, no.
