Silencing Seed Dormancy Genes to Mitigate Risk of Transgene Flow to Weedy Rice
<p>The flow of fitness-enhancing transgenes from genetically modified crops into wild/weed relatives may cause serious ecological and economic consequences. Seed dormancy (SD) is a key adaptive trait that distributes germination over time, resulting in weed persistence in agroecosystems. Thus, …

Development and application of novel genetic transformation technologies in maize (Zea mays L.)
… and environmental concerns largely related to transgene flow via pollination. In most crops, the plastid genome is inherited uniparentally in a maternal manner. Consequently, a trait introduced into the plastid genome would not be transferred to the sexually compatible relatives of the crops …

The Evolution of Natural Plant Communities through Crop Migration and Crop-to-weed Gene Flow
… hybridization. Risks include naturalization, transgene introgression, and the formation of novel genotypes in natural systems. In this study, roadside surveys and sentinel plant experiments were conducted in North Dakota, U.S.A. in order to assess the risks facing natural plant communities by …
