Potential for longevity of novel genetically modified herbicide-tolerant traits in the Irish landscape

摘要: Abstract With the renewed interest in genetically modified crop technology Ireland, some concern has been raised relation to potential impact on biodiversity Irish agri-environment. This can focus for a transgenic trait cross wild relatives. A novel will be judged have persisted population via successful production of seeds, such that these seeds are viable and result establishment self-sustaining population. In case an herbicide-tolerant (HT) trait, feral volunteer populations only remain if managed with applications herbicide is designed resist. surviving HT plants would then need compete successfully other order prevail landscape persist over time. There few agricultural crops manage this combination, but as oilseed rape often noted along roadsides hedgerows Ireland; it correct assum...
