Researchers in plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology; plant ecology and evolution
Key Features
• Explores the debate over the introduction of transgenic plants in agriculture, particularly with respect to whether such crops can be introduced safely and their impact on plant genetic resources that are present in related wild type species
• Assesses the effects of genetic interactions between closely related gene pools on the ecological and evolutionary future of wild taxa
• Presents existing literature in an accessible manner and highlights future possible avenues of research
Main Description
Introgression is the incorporation of a gene from one organism complex into another as a result of hybridization. A major concern with the use of genetically modified plants is the unintentional spread of the new genes from cultivated plants to their wild relatives and the subsequent impacts on the ecology of wild plants and their associated flora and fauna.
The book reviews these issues, focusing on the ecological and evolutionary effects of introducing GM cultivars. It presents current knowledge of crop-wild relatives hybridization and introgression, and the measurement and prediction of their consequences. As a result it represents a major contribution to the debate about the risks of GM crops and measures, such as post commercialisation monitoring, required to determine the longer term impacts of GM crops on ecosystems.
The book presents edited and revised presentations given at a conference of the same name, organised in January 2003 by the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) and the Robert Koch Institute (Germany), on behalf of the European Science Foundation funded program for Assessment of the Impacts of Genetically Modified Plants (AIGM ).
Reviews
• "For those who wish to understand the GM problem - read this book!"
Daphne J Osborne, Elsevier Trends Journal, 2004
• "The chapters include thoughtful reviews, straightforward reports on current research, and a helpful contribution on the details of the European Union requirements to monitor for environmental effects of the introduction of GMOs, particularly as they relate to introgression. This book is essential reading for scientists, regulators and educators with an interest in the interaction of GM crops with their environment."
Gavin Ramsey, Experimental Agriculture, 41, 2005
• "This is a fascinating overview of plant hybridization and a sane evaluation of the problems that may arise through the unintentional spread of transgenes into native or semi-native populations. This book is an important contribution to public debate, an authoritative scientific review and a valuable synthesis of the available literature on this vexed topic."
