Transgene Bioconfinement: Don’t Flow There

Abstract: The adoption of genetically engineered (GE) crops has led to economic and environmental benefits. However, there are regulatory and environmental concerns regarding the potential movement of transgenes beyond cultivation. These concerns are greater for GE crops with high outcrossing frequencies to sexually compatible wild relatives and those grown in their native region. Newer GE crops may also confer traits that enhance fitness, and introgression of these traits could negatively impact natural populations. Tr… Show more

“…Another important aspect of the biosafety concern for the release of GE crops is transgene escape through pollen or seed flow, which may increase or reduce the fitness of the gene flow recipient plants [27]. One review paper included in this Special Issue proposed and discussed potential approaches to bioconfine transgene flow [28].…”
