A Comparison of Soil Microbial Community Structure, Protozoa and Nematodes in Field Plots of Conventional and Genetically Modified Maize Expressing the Bacillus thuringiens is CryIAb Toxin (2005, background): “Even so, the environmental release of GM plants is still controversial due to the potential negative effects on human health and the environment, including effects on non-target soil organisms (Wolfenbarger and Phifer, 2000).”
Agricultural Biotechnology: The Promise and Prospects of Genetically Modified Crops (2014, background): “If these traits escape the farm and spread elsewhere, the effects on surrounding ecosystems could be novel and complex (Wolfenbarger and Phifer 2000).”
Environmental cleanup using plants: biotechnological advances and ecological considerations (2006, background): “When assessing the risk of transgene escape, one should not only take into account the probability of escape, but also the potential consequences: will the transgenics have any selective advantage, and if so, in which environments (Wolfenbarger and Phifer 2000)?”
Diversity of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere and root interior of field‐grown genetically modified Brassica napus (2001, background): “Consequences of these changes include decreases in plant decomposition rates, and in soil carbon and nitrogen levels that could a¡ect soil fertility [8].”
Which traits promote persistence of feral GM crops? Part 1:implications of environmental stochasticity (2005, background): “Spread of transgenes from crops can originate from hybridisation of transgenic pollen with wild or cultivated relatives, or from transgenic seeds that disperse and potentially establish a persisting feral population of transgenic plants (Wolfenbarger and Phifer 2000).”
Lessons From History: Predicting Successes and Risks of Intentional Introductions for Arthropod Biological Control (2004, background): “It will also be important to consider the negative effects that may occur between Bt modified crops, target pests, and biological control agents (Wolfenbarger and Phifer 2000).”
Biosecurity: Moving toward a Comprehensive Approach (2002, unknown): “…climate and land use change; technological advancements; political instability; and crime (bioterrorism itself and other crimes, such as smuggling, that involve living, potentially harmful organisms) (Kennedy et al.1998,Mooney and Hobbs 2000b, Wolfenbarger and Phifer 2000, McNeely et al. 2001).”
Ecological Engineering for Pest Management: Advances in Habitat Manipulation for Arthropods (2004, background): “Wolfenbarger and Phifer (2000) concluded that key experiments on environmental risks and benefits of GM crops are lacking.”
