Abstract
It has been suggested that genetic modification could lead to crops with enhanced invasiveness and persistence. These new genotypes could invade natural ecosystems and cause undesirable change, either through spread of the crops themselves or through hybridization with wild relatives. We review the progress made in the genetic modification of the major UK crops, and identify those crops and traits in which genetic modification is most advanced. Data on the potential for the spread of transgenes through pollen movement and the relative performance of modified and unmodified crops are examined. It is concluded that the spread of modified crops and their hybrids with wild relatives can be modelled in the same manner as for unmodified crops (...)
