Gene flow is a natural process that occurs spontaneously and enables the evolution of life. However, with the release of genetically modified organisms, concerns have focused on introduced foreign transgenes and their dispersal in nature through gene flow. This book examines gene flow of transgenes, such as herbicide resistance genes, and helps understand factors that may affect the process of gene flow and allow management and mitigation of gene flow, taking into consideration the processes that happen in conventional plants. Monitoring, modelling and mitigation, including approaches such as biocontainment, are the three most closely related elements of gene flow. The book includes both scientific reviews and perspectives on gene flow and experimental case studies, for example studies of gene flow in soybean and poplar. The authors present diverse views and research methodologies applied to gene flow. This book: - Focuses on applications of gene flow (monitoring, modelling and mitigation) - Includes both review chapters and case studies - Is written by international team of scientists currently working on gene flow. This book will be valuable for students and researchers in genetics, biotechnology, plant science and environmental science.
