Mechanistic models of seed dispersal by wind (2011, background): “Pollen-mediated introgression of transgenes into non-modified and wild varieties, or the escape of the entire transgenic plants into cultivated lands and natural habitats via seed dispersal are both of a great public concern, thus warranting a careful risk assessment (e.g., Snow et al. 2005).”
An overview of general features of risk assessments of genetically modified crops (2008, background): “For insect-resistant plants, they can be categorised into several overlapping functional groups ( Snow et al. 2005; Andow and Zwahlen 2006; OECD 2007; Sanvido et al. 2007):”
''Transgenic treadmill": Responses to the emergence and spread of glyphosate-resistant johnsongrass in Argentina (2009, background): “…consumption of glyphosate by GR cropping systems has become one of the main ecological risks when releasing GMOs to the environment (Altieri, 2005; Barton and Dracup, 2000; Ervin et al., 2003; Martínez-Ghersa et al., 2003; McAfee, 2003; Powles, 2003; Snow et al., 2005; Steinbrecher, 2001).”
Hybridisation within Brassica and allied genera: evaluation of potential for transgene escape (2007, background): “While decisions need to be made with the best available evidence (Snow et al. 2005), species combinations for which there is no available information must still be taken into account when performing risk assessments.”
Genetic containment of forest plantations (2007, background): “Such a broad ban, which covers even contained research with environmental goals, is difficult to justify on scientific grounds, especially given the long-standing scientific consensus that “product not process” should dominate risk assessment for GE organisms (Snow et al. 2005).”
Gene Drives on the Horizon: Advancing Science, Navigating Uncertainty, and Aligning Research with Public Values (2016, background): “Many of these points were made in the Ecological Society of America’s most recent report on genetically modified organisms in the environment (Snow et al., 2005).”
Genetically Engineered Algae for Biofuels: A Key Role for Ecologists (2012, background): “Before novel GEOs are introduced into the environment, however, key biosafety issues should be addressed in order to evaluate potential levels of exposure and unintended sources of harm (e.g., Snow et al. 2005, Wolt et al. 2010).”
Biosafety education relevant to genetically engineered crops for academic and non-academic stakeholders in East Africa (2009, background): “Potential effects of transgenes on invasiveness of a crop or native species depends on presence of compatible native relatives to which gene flow could occur and the resultant impact of the new gene (Conner et al. 2003; Snow et al. 2005).”
Cycling of extracellular DNA in the soil environment (2007, background): “The transfer of recombinant DNA into the soil microbial community remains a public concern due to the chance it might result in new antibiotic resistant bacteria, which could include human pathogens (Daniell, 1999; Daniell et al., 2001; Puchta, 2000; Snow et al., 2005).”
Interspecific Pollen Transfer: Magnitude, Prevalence and Consequences for Plant Fitness (2008, background): “Alien flowering plants might disrupt the pollination of natives (reviewed in Traveset and Richardson, 2006, and Bjerknes et al., 2007), and transgenes might be transferred from genetically modified crops to wild relatives (reviewed in Snow et al., 2005).”
