Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

What are genetically modified organisms and how are they produced? On which modifications is the present focus and which impacts are expected to occur on the natural biocenosis? Selective advantage of transgenes and selective neutral traits, impacts on the agrarian ecosystems originating from changes in the agrarian management due to the cultivation of GMOs (herbicide management), experience from other countries (e.g. Canada: 'gene stacking'), the current situation in the EU, ecological risk assessment of the crops oilseed rape, sugar beet and maize, coexistence management and evaluation of the proposed measures (e.g. thresholds, isolation distances, natural pollen-barriers) from an ecological point of view.
