Description:
We invite participants from the seed and plant production industries, the plant sciences community, and the government, to join us for a science-based workshop focused on gene flow in agriculture. Experts from academia and industry will discuss biology related to gene flow and persistence, as well as current and upcoming technologies to control gene flow. Given the introduction of new crops for biofuels, diverse traits, and production systems aimed to capture markets with high purity standards, a comprehensive understanding of gene flow biology and control is crucial for co-existence. There will be a particular focus on current and future strategies, both transgenic and non-transgenic, to minimize gene flow and maintain seed purity in all sectors of the agricultural community.
