Gene flow is a natural process that occurs spontaneously and
enables the evolution of life. However, with the release of
genetically modified organisms, concerns have focused on introduced
foreign transgenes and their dispersal in nature through gene flow.
This book examines gene flow of transgenes, such as herbicide
resistance genes, with the goal of understanding the factors that
may affect the process of gene flow. A greater biological
understanding is essential to make sound management regulatory
decisions when also taking into consideration the processes that
happen in conventional plants. Monitoring, modelling, and
mitigation are the three most closely related elements of gene
flow. The book includes both scientific reviews and perspectives on
gene flow and experimental case studies, including studies of gene
flow in soybean and poplar. The authors present diverse views and
research methodologies to understand transgene flow. This book:
Focuses on applications of gene flow (monitoring, modelling, and
mitigation); Includes both review chapters and case studies; Is
written by international team of scientists currently working in
gene flow. This book will be valuable for students and researchers
in genetics, biotechnology, plant science, and environmental
science. It also provides key insights of value to regulators of
biotechnology as well as policy-makers.
