Modern Biotechnology as an Integral Supplement to Conventional Plant Breeding: The Prospects and Challenges (2006, background): “The possibility of such genetic pollution through a misplaced transgene exists in some cases (Messeguer, 2003; Stewart et al., 2003; Armstrong et al., 2005), but in most cases it is unlikely to happen because of the difficulty of hybridization between a transgenic crop plant and its wild relatives a”
Gene Flow, Risk Assessment and the Environmental Release of Transgenic Plants (2008, background): “(2005) concluded that gene flow will occur in rice, but only at a very low frequency beyond a few meters, confirming that separation distance strategies would be effective for a self-pollinating crop like rice (Messeguer, 2003).”
Plant Genetic Resources: Selected Issues from Genetic Erosion to Genetic Engineering (2008, background): “The possibility of transgene flow from engineered crops to other varieties, to their wild relatives or to associated weeds is one of the major concerns in relation to the ecological risks of the commercial release of transgenic plants (Messeguer, 2003).”
