Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

A compilation of test methods useful in risk assessment of transgenic plants. It is intended to aid the environmental researcher in finding and comparing relevant methods quickly and easily. It is also suitable as a reference work for those working in plant population biology and genetics. The major processes affecting the fate of plants are covered, with emphasis on invasion, competition and establishment, eg seed dispersal, density-dependent competition, and plant growth. Ecosystem effects and genetic structure are also covered. For each process a number of relevant test methods have been selected; in total 84 methods for field, greenhouse or laboratory research are included, employing 51 key processwords. Each method is described and evaluated briefly and there are comments on assumptions, restrictions, advantages and applications.
