Pollen-mediated gene flow is the major pathway for transgene escape from GM rice to its wild relatives. Transgene escape to wild Oryza species having AA-genome will occur if GM rice is released to environments with these wild Oryza species. Transgenes may persist to and spread in wild populations after gene flow, resulting unwanted ecological consequences. For assessing the potential consequenc...

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops and a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt the impacts global change, particularly meet increasing consumer demand in face climate crisis. CWR provide vital ecosystem services increasingly important for food nutrition security sustainable resilient agriculture. They therefore major biological, social, cultural eco...

this study performed to evaluate genetic diversity of some wild and domesticated (unknown foreign cultivars) blackberries in sanru collection based on morphological traits. results showed high diversity for flowering, ripening time and fruit juice. wild genotypes showed significant differences in leaf, flower, thorn number, fruits and seed fresh weight compared to domesticated cultivars. based ...

mong the concerns associated with the "release" of transgenic plants into the environment is the possibility that genes transformed into a crop plant by recombinant DNA methods could spread into its wild relatives. The process of concern is introgression, the transfer of genes from one population into another via hybridization and subsequent backcrossing. If these genes confer some selective ad...
