Convincing evidence has accumulated that unintended transgene escape occurs in
oilseed rape, maize, cotton and creeping bentgrass. The escaped transgenes are
found in variant cultivars, in wild type plants as well as in hybrids of sexually
compatible species. The fact that in some cases stacked events are present that
have not been planted commercially, implies unintended recombination of
transgenic traits. As the consequences of this continuous transgene escape for
the ecosystem cannot be reliably predicted, I propose to use more sophisticated
approaches of gene technology in future. If possible GM plants should be
constructed using either site-directed mutagenesis or cisgenic strategies to
avoid the problem of transgene escape. In cases where a transgenic trait is
needed, efficient containment should be the standard approach. Various strategies
available or in development are discussed. Such a cautious approach in developing
novel types of GM crops will enhance the sustainable potential of GM crops and
thus increase the public trust in green gene technology.
