Hybridization Between Brassica napus and B. rapa on a National Scale in the United Kingdom (2003)
Journal Article
Shaw, M. W., Wilkinson, M. J., Elliott, L. J., Allainguillaume, J., Norris, C., Welters, R., …Mason, D. C. (2003). Hybridization Between Brassica napus and B. rapa on a National Scale in the United Kingdom. Science, 302(5644), 457-459. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1088200

Measures blocking hybridization would prevent or reduce biotic or environmental change caused by gene flow from genetically modified (GM) crops to wild relatives. The efficacy of any such measure depends on hybrid numbers within the legislative regio... Read More about Hybridization Between Brassica napus and B. rapa on a National Scale in the United Kingdom.

A direct regional scale estimate of transgene movement from genetically modified oilseed rape to its wild progenitors (2000)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, M. J., Davenport, I. J., Charters, Y. M., Jones, A. E., Allainguillaume, J., Butler, H. T., …Raybould, A. F. (2000). A direct regional scale estimate of transgene movement from genetically modified oilseed rape to its wild progenitors. Molecular Ecology, 9(7), 983-991. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-294X.2000.00986.x

One of the major environmental concerns over genetically modified (GM) crops relates to transgene movement into wild relatives. The pattern of hybridization ultimately affects the scale and rapidity of ecological change and the feasibility of contain...

Quantifying gene movement from oilseed rape to its wild relatives using remote sensing (2000)
Journal Article
Davenport, I. J., Wilkinson, M. J., Mason, D. C., Charters, Y. M., Jones, A. E., Allainguillaume, J., …Raybould, A. F. (2000). Quantifying gene movement from oilseed rape to its wild relatives using remote sensing. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 21(18), 3567-3573. https://doi.org/10.1080/014311600750037598

The potential environmental risks due to gene flow from genetically modified (GM) crops into wild plant populations are currently of great concern. Of particular interest is gene flow from GM oilseed rape (Brassica napus) into its wild parental speci...

Genetic diversity and pedigree for Sophora toromiro (Leguminosae): A tree extinct in the wild (1999)
Journal Article
Maunder, M., Culham, A., Bordeu, A., Allainguillaume, J., & Wilkinson, M. J. (1999). Genetic diversity and pedigree for Sophora toromiro (Leguminosae): A tree extinct in the wild. Molecular Ecology, 8(5), 725-738

Sophora toromiro was endemic to the Pacific island of Papa Nui (Easter Island) and is extinct in the wild. The species has survived in private and botanic gardens. The species is the subject of an international study to support its conservation ex si...

Evidence that genes from the male parent may influence the morphology of potato dihaploids (1997)
Journal Article
Barr, S. N., Allainguillaume, J., Wilkinson, M. J., Clulow, S. A., & Barr, S. N. R. (1997). Evidence that genes from the male parent may influence the morphology of potato dihaploids. TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 94(2), 241-248. https://doi.org/10.1007/s001220050406

A number of recent studies have provided evidence that potato dihaploids (S. tuberosum) contain and express DNA front the male (dihaploid inducer) parent, S. phureja. The importance of this for breeding programmes that use dihaploid potatoes is to so... Read More about Evidence that genes from the male parent may influence the morphology of potato dihaploids.

Evidence for somatic translocation during potato dihaploid induction (1995)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, M. J., Bennett, S. T., Clulow, S. A., Allainguillaume, J., Harding, K., & Bennett, M. D. (1995). Evidence for somatic translocation during potato dihaploid induction. Heredity, 74(2), 146-151. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.1995.21

Potato dihaploid PDH55 (Solatium tuberosum) is exclusively euploid (2n = 24) but apparently contains and expresses DNA from dihaploid inducer IVP48 (S. phureja). Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) suggested IVP48 DNA incorporated stably into PDH55... Read More about Evidence for somatic translocation during potato dihaploid induction.
