Objective
The VRTP IMPACT project will address the two outstanding questions concerning the potential ecological impact of virus-resistant transgenic plants: will recombination with an infecting virus lead to creation of novel virus genomes? And will transmission of a virus resistance gene to wild relatives of crop species confer a fitness advantage on the wild plants? These questions will be answered through both laboratory and field studies. In the studies of recombination plant to virus gene flow, the particular targets will be two groups of particularly important plant viruses, the cucumoviruses and the Pot viruses. The plant to plant gene flow studies will focus on two major crop plants that are known to be able to outcross with wild relatives, beet and oilseed rape. In all cases, potential impact will be assessed relative to baseline studies concerning these two forms of gene flow in the absence of transgenic plants.
