Author Description

This workshop brought together regulators & industry & academic scientists working in various disciplines to discuss & evaluate current knowledge & research on secondary effects of transgenes that function as transcription factors, in signal transduction, or to modify metabolic pathways. Focused on examples & commercially promising case studies to promote information exchange & discussion of data & experiments on secondary effects of these genes. It sought to evaluate what information is available & to identify areas that would benefit from additional research. In particular, secondary effects that could influence confinement, including gene flow to wild populations & adjacent, non-transgenic crops, were discussed. Illustrated.
