The work summarizes both state-of-the-art knowledge and research gaps related to gene flow and introgression between crops and their wild relatives. The information is based on a comprehensive review of the relevant scientific and technical literature. It emphasizes gene transfer from GM crops to...
In the last decade, the use of DNA markers for the study of crop genetic diversity has become routine, and has revolutionized biology. Increasingly, techniques are being developed to more precisely, quickly and cheaply assess genetic variation. These techniques have changed the standard equipment...
The rapidly expanding study of DNA in so many areas of science has created an odd surplus: the DNA itself. Reasonably easy and inexpensive to store, with established techniques for almost infinite multiplication, the samples of DNA created in laboratories around the world have almost by accident ...
