Enhancing the Conservation of Crop Wild Relatives in England
Humans require resilient, rapidly renewable and sustainable supplies of food and many other plant-derived supplies. However, the combined effects of climate change and population growth compromise the provision of these supplies particularly in respect to global food security. Crop wild relatives (CWR) contain higher genetic diversity than crops and harbour traits that can improve crop resilien...
متن کاملA metapopulation model for the introgression from genetically modified plants into their wild relatives
Most models on introgression from genetically modified (GM) plants have focused on small spatial scales, modelling gene flow from a field containing GM plants into a single adjacent population of a wild relative. Here, we present a model to study the effect of introgression from multiple plantations into the whole metapopulation of the wild relative. The most important result of the model is th...
متن کاملGene flow from genetically modified rice to its wild relatives: Assessing potential ecological consequences.
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...
متن کاملUS regulatory system for genetically modified [genetically modified organism (GMO), rDNA or transgenic] crop cultivars.
This paper reviews the history of the federal regulatory oversight of plant agricultural biotechnology in the USA, focusing on the scientific and political forces moulding the continually evolving regulatory structure in place today. Unlike most other jurisdictions, the USA decided to adapt pre-existing legislation to encompass products of biotechnology. In so doing, it established an overarchi...
متن کاملDistributed BioSensors in Genetically Modified crop trial monitoring
1. The latest release statistics from the two major biological databases shown in Figure 1 show that the trend for information generation has been linear in the case of protein, but exponential for the addition of sequence data. This disparity is largely due to the method of data acquisition (DNA sequencing has, for the last five or so years been largely automated), but the trend is obvious in ...
