It is now a decade since Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) was suggested as a model species for temperate grasses and cereals. Since then transformation protocols, large expressed sequence tag (EST) databases, tools for forward and reverse genet...

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...
