| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses gene flow in genetically altered crops, stating that "gene flow is the successful transfer of genetic information between different individuals, populations and generations...Typically initiated by pollen dispersal in plants, gene flow is a natural and not inherently adverse phenomenon that occurs in non-transgenic as well as transgenic plants and crops." Focuses on transgenic crops, explaining that "before transgenic crops are approved for commercial use, law requires that they pass extensive testing addressing any significant food safety, environmental protection and human/animal health issues." Notes that "the vast majority of gene flow events between transgenic crops possessing a wide array of transgenic traits and nontransgenic crops or weeds likely will not lead to a hazard." |
