The present work is a continuation of the work initiated in Autumn
1991, which resulted in the book, published by Birkhauser Verlag in
1994, entitled: Methods for Risk Assessment of Transgenic Plants.
I. Competition, Establishment and Ecosystem Effects. Already when
the work on volume 1 started, it was obvious to the authors, that
not only the physical establishment of a transgenic plant outside
the cultivated area was important for risk assessment, but also the
possible gene-transfer from transgenic plants to other plants had
to be considered. It was then decided to write a second volume on
test methods, as a complement to the first, covering the main
topics: Pollination, gene-transfer and population impacts. The main
user groups for this volume are scientists and students working
with plant population genetics and risk assessment and
administrators with responsibility for legislation of transgenic
plants. In order to cover such a broad range of topics, specialist
knowledge was required. Therefore, colleagues in Denmark and
Switzerland, working in these fields in relation to the concerns of
using transgenic plants, were asked to participate. The result was
a Danish-Swiss cooperation. A list of contributors to the book and
their addresses is shown on p. VII. Financial support, which made
the work possible, was given by: The National Environmental
Research Institute, Denmark, the Federal Office of Environment,
Forest and Landscape, Switzerland, the National Forest and Nature
Agency, Denmark, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency and the
European Commission, DC XI.
