Fitness and maternal effects in hybrids formed between transgenic oilseed rape (<i>Brassica napus</i> L.) and wild brown mustard [<i>B. juncea</i> (L.) Czern et Coss.] in the field

Abstract

These data indicate that there might be enhanced persistence of the transgene in warmer climates. The absence of fitness cost of the transgenes might allow transgenes to persist in ecosystems. These data will contribute to risk assessments of transgene persistence and weed management against the backdrop of global climate change.
