Paternal biocontainment methods (PBMs) act by preventing pollen‐mediated transgene flow. They are compromised by transgene escape via the crop‐maternal line. We therefore assess the efficacy of PBMs for transgenic rapeseed (Brassica napus) biocontainment across the United Kingdom by estimating crop‐maternal hybridization with its two progenitor species.
We used remote sensing, field surveys, agricultural...
Environmental concerns over the cultivation of Genetically Modified (GM) crops largely centre on the ecological consequences following gene flow to wild relatives. One attractive solution is to deploy biocontainment measures that prevent hybridization. Chloroplast transformation is the most advanced biocontainment method but is compromised by chloroplast capture (hybridization through the maternal...
