The production of genetically-modified (GM) crops has increased rapidly over the last 10 years. The possibility of GM crops mixing with conventional or organic crops is becoming a problem and estimating the adventitious presence of GM seeds into conventional crop harvests presents a challenge. In this study we used outputs from a previously developed computer model for gene flow between GM and ...

Rice and maize are important cereal crops that serve as staple foods, feed, and industrial material in China. Multiple factors constrain the production of both crops, among which insect pests are an important one. Lepidopteran pests cause enormous yield losses for the crops annually. In order to control these pests, China plays an active role in development and application of genetic engineerin...

Despite growing concern about transgenes escaping from fields, few studies have analysed the genetic diversity of crops in an agroecosystem over several years. Accurate information about the dynamics and relationship of the genetic diversity of crops in an agroecosystem is essential for risk assessment and policies concerning the containment of genetically modified crops and their coexistence w...
