One of the concerns raised over the introduction of genetically modified crops is that
transgenes will invade populations of wild relatives, causing ecologically significant …

Plant population modelling has been around since the 1970s, providing a valuable
approach to understanding plant ecology from a mechanistic standpoint. It is surprising then …

Concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops include transgene flow to compatible wild
species and unintended ecological consequences of potential transgene introgression …

▪ Abstract Ecological risks associated with the release of transgenic crops include nontarget
effects of the crop and the escape of transgenes into wild populations. Nontarget effects can …

Incorporation of crop genes into wild and weedy relative populations (ie introgression) has
long been of interest to ecologists and weed scientists. Potential negative outcomes that …

The enhanced use of biomass for the production of energy, fuels, and materials is one of the
key strategies towards sustainable production and consumption. Various life cycle …

Feral populations of crop species along roadsides contribute to the uncertainty regarding the
containment of genetically modified (GM) crops, as the feral populations could promote the …

One of the main concerns about the commercial release of transgenic crops is the likelihood
of transgene spread from cultivated species into wild relatives. This question is relevant for …

Accumulation of information about natural hybridization between GM soybean (Glycine max)
and wild soybean (Glycine soja) is required for risk assessment evaluation and to establish …

Summary 1 Hybridization between crops and wild relatives seems possible for many crop
taxa. Subsequent introgression of crop‐specific traits into wild relatives might lead to the …
