Progresses on the Gene Flow from Transgenic Rice to Common Wild Rice and its Close Relatives

Abstract: The introgression of transgenes into common wild rice （Oryza rufipogon） and its wild relatives or weeds through pollen mediated gene flow is a major concern in environmental risk assessment of transgenic crops. In the report, the progresses on the gene flow from transgenic rice to common wild rice and its close relatives were reviewed and the strategies for controlling transgene flow were also discussed.
