Undesirable effects related to gene flow may result in ecological or agronomic considerations (persistence of feral plants, creation of new weeds; impacts on biodiversity) as well as in commercial considerations (adventitious presence of GMOs in conventional crop production affecting its competitiveness in the marketplace). Consequently, the coexistence between different types of crops has become a major issue and has to be addressed per se whatever are the actual ecological, agronomic and safety impacts. On-farm gene flow occurs both in ti…
