| Analysis of gene flow from crop to wild forms in lettuce and chicory and its population-ecological consequences in the context of GM-crop biosafety |
| The anticipated risk of escape of transgenes from genetically modified crops to wild allies has revealed a serious lack in knowledge about gene flow from cultivated to wild forms of crop plants and its possible consequences for the environment, such as increased weediness. Therefore, this project aims at developing molecular tools dedicated to assessing gene flow in two model crops, one basically outcrossing, chicory, and one basically selfing, lettuce. Consequences of gene flow for fitness will be studied by demographic monitoring of natural and experimental hybrid populations. |
