Gene flow from a large scale release of genetically modified herbicide tolerant and hybrid winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
One of the major concerns regarding the cultivation of transgenic crops is the uncontrolled spread of transgenes among fields or to related wild species. To address this concern a long-term study has been set up to assess the amount of gene flow that is occurring from a large scale field trial of genetically modified herbicide tolerant and hybrid (GMHTH) oilseed rape. During the first year of the project, outcrossing of the herbicide tolerance ...
