Gene flow from GE to conventional maize in real situations of coexistence
Figure 2 - Crop map from Foixa area
Results obtained in this study perfectly match those obtained in field trials specially designed to study pollen mediated gene flow in maize. We have shown that coexistence between GE and conventional fields can be achieved by establishing simple rules that take into account the synchronicity of flowering and distance between fields. Moreover, data collected in this study will be very useful for validation of models to predict pollen flow at landscape level with different spatial distributions (smaller and larger fields).
