Use of airborne remote sensing to detect riverside Brassica rapa to aid in risk assessment of transgenic crops (2009)
Journal Article
Elliott, L. M., Mason, D. C., Allainguillaume, J., & Wilkinson, M. J. (2009). Use of airborne remote sensing to detect riverside Brassica rapa to aid in risk assessment of transgenic crops. Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 3(1), 033562. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.3269615

High resolution descriptions of plant distribution have utility for many ecological applications but are especially useful for predictive modeling of gene flow from transgenic crops. Difficulty lies in the extrapolation errors that occur when limited... Read More about Use of airborne remote sensing to detect riverside Brassica rapa to aid in risk assessment of transgenic crops.

Rapeseed cytoplasm gives advantage in wild relatives and complicates genetically modified crop biocontainment (2009)
Journal Article
Allainguillaume, J., Harwood, T., Ford, C. S., Cuccato, G., Norris, C., Allender, C. J., …Wilkinson, M. J. (2009). Rapeseed cytoplasm gives advantage in wild relatives and complicates genetically modified crop biocontainment. New Phytologist, 183(4), 1201-1211. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-8137.2009.02877.x

Biocontainment methods for genetically modified crops closest to commercial reality (chloroplast transformation, male sterility) would be compromised (in absolute terms) by seed-mediated gene flow leading to chloroplast capture. Even in these circums... Read More about Rapeseed cytoplasm gives advantage in wild relatives and complicates genetically modified crop biocontainment.

Spontaneous capture of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chloroplasts by wild B. rapa: Implications for the use of chloroplast transformation for biocontainment (2009)
Journal Article
Haider, N., Allainguillaume, J., & Wilkinson, M. J. (2009). Spontaneous capture of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chloroplasts by wild B. rapa: Implications for the use of chloroplast transformation for biocontainment. Current Genetics, 55(2), 139-150. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00294-009-0230-5

Environmental concerns over the cultivation of Genetically Modified (GM) crops largely centre on the ecological consequences following gene flow to wild relatives. One attractive solution is to deploy biocontainment measures that prevent hybridizatio...
