Field trials with genetically modified powdery mildew-resistant wheat

摘要: Field trials with genetically modified powdery mildew-resistant wheat The benefits and environmental risks of (GM) spring improved mildew resistance were investigated on two field sites by a consortium Swiss research groups from 2008 to 2010. GM lines specific general fungal compared control lines, commercial varieties, barley triticale. impact insects soil organisms (bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, fauna) as well outcrossing in addition resistance. Several significantly more resistant than their controls. No relevant was found non-target organisms, biodiversity or selected ecosystem services. On the whole, differences between smaller varieties other cereal crops. Outcrossing events rare only at short distance test plants.
