Ecological Effects of Transgenic Crops and the Escape of Transgenes into Wild Populations (2004, background): “For example, oilseed rape persists on road verges in France (Pessel et al. 2001), and time to extinction of feral populations might increase if plants contained transgenic insect resistance or drought tolerance.”
Gene Flow and Multiple Herbicide Resistance in Escaped Canola Populations (2008, background): “Canola is a weedy plant that frequently grows in disturbed habitats (Crawley and Brown 1995; Pessel et al. 2001), and escaped canola populations have become ubiquitous in rural landscapes throughout western Canada.”
Where do the feral oilseed rape populations come from? A large‐scale study of their possible origin in a farmland area (2008, background): “Nevertheless, some studies suggest that seed banks contribute to the persistence of feral populations (Charters, Robertson & Squire 1999; Pessel et al. 2001).”
The long-term persistence of seeds of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in arable fields (2003, background): “Although in these surveys the contribution of subsequent seeding cannot be excluded, there is a considerable weight of evidence that rape can survive for 8–9 years in France (Pessel et al. 2001) and for 5 years in Canada (Simard et al. 2002).”
Which traits promote persistence of feral GM crops? Part 1:implications of environmental stochasticity (2005, background): “However, for management and risk assessment purposes the presence of transgenic seeds in the seed bank should be taken into account (Pessel et al. 2001) and therefore we prefer to define extinction as presented in Fig.”
A comparison between crop domestication, classical plant breeding, and genetic engineering (2002, background): “Pessel et al. (2001) observed that feral trolling highly heritable traits would have facilitated progress from selection during the domestication process.populations of oilseed rape tended to persist for at least 8 yr without intervening human actions.”
