Quote Raveneye: For Elphaba and anybody else interested in learning more about genetically modified plants, here is a recent review article about the situation in the UK and Europe. It's a good review of the biology, the techniques, and the cultural obstacles involved in making use of the enormous human benefits of this technology.
Many thanks Raveneye. That was very helpful.

I have a "mundane" biology question that maybe Ustwo can answer for me. One of the concerns mentioned in the review article is the possibility of natural cross-pollination between a gm and nongm plant. It would seem that the possibility of a new species is possible, but wouldn't it still be a self-limiting (one-year) plant?
