| Abstract: | Purpose Feral populations of cultivated crops can act as reservoirs for novel genetically engineered (GE) traits and aid in trait
movement at the landscape level. However, little information is available on the potential of cultivated crops to become feral.
In this study, we investigated the ferality of alfalfa populations (non-GE version) occurring in roadside habitats. Knowledge
on the nature of roadside alfalfa populations would be useful for designing efficient trait confinement protocols and coexistence
strategies in alfalfa. |
