In nature, interspecific hybridization occurs frequently and can contribute to the production of
new species or the introgression of beneficial adaptive features between species. It has …

Numerous studies have focused on the probability of occurrence of gene flow between
transgenic crops and their wild relatives and the likelihood of transgene escape, which …

Abstract The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) provides a
scientific statement presenting a conceptual framework for the risk assessment of certain …

Despite the paramount role of floral fragrance in pollinator attraction and reproduction in
flowering plants, we know little about its evolution under natural conditions. Here we show …

We used flow cytometry, chromosome counting and AFLP markers to investigate gene flow
from the crop plant oilseed rape, Brassica napus (AACC) to wild B. árapa (AA) in the …

Background and Aims Gene flow from crops to their wild relatives has the potential to alter
population growth rates and demography of hybrid populations, especially when a new crop …

The introduction of herbicide-tolerant (HT) transgenic soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) into
farming systems raises great concern that transgenes may flow to endemic wild soybeans …

Oilseed rape MON 88302 was developed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens‐mediated
transformation to express the CP4 EPSPS protein, which confers tolerance to glyphosate …

Crossings between the diploid wild Brassica rapa (AA, 2n= 20) and the tetraploid cultivar B.
napus (AACC, 2n= 38) can readily be made. Backcrosses to the wild B. rapa (BC 1) produce …

Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Genetically Modified
Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA GMO Panel) evaluated the …
