Text of Note

"Introgression is the incorporation of a gene from one taxon into another as a result of hybridization. A major concern about the use of genetically modified plants is the unintentional spread of the new genes from cultivated plants to their wild relatives and the subsequent impacts on the ecology of wild plants and their associated flora and fauna." "This book reviews these issues, focusing on the ecological and evolutionary effects of introducing GM cultivars. It presents current knowledge of crop-wild relative hybridization and introgression, and the measurement and prediction of their consequences. As a result, it represents a major contribution to the debate about the risks of GM crops and measures, such as post-commercialization monitoring, required to determine the longer-term impacts of GM crops on ecosystems. The book will be of interest to researchers in the areas of plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology as well as plant ecology and evolution. The book comprises the series of presentations given at a conference of the same name, organized in January 2003 by the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) and the Robert Koch Institute (Germany), on behalf of the European Science Foundation-funded programme for Assessment of the Impacts of Genetically Modified Plants (AIGM)."--Jacket.
