Interview with Kathrin Pascher (University of Vienna - Austria)
IENE 2016 conference (Lyon,France)
Because of their small size, OSR seeds are regularly spilled during handling and transportation. Genetically modified (GM), herbicide resistant OSR is now widely grown in North America. Transportation and handling activities have been identified as main cause of the unintended occurrence and subsequent establishment of feral GM OSR populations in countries without GM OSR cultivation, e.g. Japan and Switzerland.We surveyed abundance and genetic diversity of feral OSR at 60 sampling sites in Austria, aiming to assess the risk of establishment of feral populations from non GM seed imports.
