TLDR
It is concluded that transgenic rapeseed poses higher risk of gene dispersal than other crops do in China and it is appealed that biosafety consciousness of transgenic rapeeed should be strengthened, and a technical platform of GMO detection and monitoring should be properly established.Abstract:
In view of the current status of research and environmental release of transgenic rapeseed worldwide, the environmental risk was assessed focusing on competitive survival ability, gene dispersal and biodiversity impact of transgenic rapeseed in China. Complicated in ecological conditions, China is the centre of evolutionary origin and biodiversity of many crucifer species. Transgene may transfer from Brassica napus to vegetable and wild species of B.rapa and B.juncea. In China genetic transformation techniques of rapeseed(B. napus) has well been established and genetic transformation experiments are frequent with a variety of genes transferred and without severe management. A large quantity of transgenic rapeseed is imported to China each year. It is concluded that transgenic rapeseed poses higher risk of gene dispersal than other crops do in China. It is appealed that biosafety consciousness of transgenic rapeseed should be strengthened, and a technical platform of GMO detection and monitoring should be properly established.read more

Chloroplast transformation of rapeseed (Brassica napus) by particle bombardment of cotyledons
TL;DR: R rapeseed may be a suitable crop for chloroplast transformation with cotyledons as explants under appropriate conditions, according to analysis of T1 transplastomic plants.

Potential gene flow of two herbicide-tolerant transgenes from oilseed rape to wild B. juncea var. gracilis
TL;DR: The occurrence of fertile, transgenic weed-like plants after only three crosses suggests a potential rapid spread of transgenes from oilseed rape into its wild relative wild B. juncea.

Transgene directionally integrated into C-genome of Brassica napus
TL;DR: Genomic Southern blotting of three randomly chosen lines showed that bar gene had been integrated into the genome of resynthesized B. napus lines, in consistence with the PCR test.
