Michelle Marvier and Rene C. Van Acker (March 2005)
Can crop transgenes be kept on a leash?
Transgenes escape via the movement of pollen and seeds, and this movement is facilitated by the growing number of incidents involving human error. Even the best designed risk management can be foiled by human error, a reality that is underestimated by most GM crop-risk analyses. Thus, our evaluation of risk should assume that whatever transgene is being examined has a good chance of escaping.
