Gene flow from transgenic glyphosate-resistant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) at the landscape level

Creator:

Zapiola, Maria Luz

Abstract:

Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is an outcrossing, small- seeded, perennial grass that can establish outside of cultivation and has several compatible relatives. Glyphosate is a nonselective, broad spectrum, herbicide. Transgenic glyphosate-resistant (GR) creeping bentgrass (GRCB) was developed by The Scotts Company and Monsanto, but is still under USDA-APHIS regulated...

Potential impacts of canola (Brassica napus L.) on vegetable seed production in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:

Quinn, Michael P.

Abstract:

In the Willamette Valley of Oregon, a combination of the need for rotational crops and an increased desire for biofuel production created interest in planting Brassica napus (canola). However, questions were raised arisen over the potential damage canola production could have on the preexisting Brassica vegetable seed industry. To address...
