Gene flow analysis for assessing the safety of bio-engineered crops in the tropics
| Copy Link | |
| Coordinating organisation: | International Center for Tropical Agriculture |
| Description: | Biosafety, transgenic crops, wild species, gene flow analysis Major Results Achieved: Beans: The survey on wild wild bean populations was completed. Estimations on natural outcrossing of cultivated types are carried out. Wind has proved to have a major effect on pollination vectors/mechanisms. Biochemical and molecular markers are used to determine gene transfer. First results indicate that favourable conditions may allow gene flow and subsequent introgression from cultivated to wild forms. |
