“…Some alternative approaches such as increasing the use of different herbicides and development of GM crops resistant to other herbicides have been considered 31,32 . However, these alternatives are also concerning due to the increased probability of serious toxic hazards to humans and the environment by mixing different herbicides 33,34 .…”

“…For example, a new species of Darwin finch in the Galápagos emerged from only three generations of interbreeding between Geospiza fortis and G. conirostris (Lamichhaney et al, 2018 (Pandolfo et al, 2016). Climate change may alter species ranges and trigger hybridization between previously isolated species (Brennan et al, 2014).…”

It is now well admitted by ecologists that the conservation of biodiversity should imply preserving the evolutionary processes that will permit its adaptation to ongoing and future environmental changes. This is attested by the ever‐growing reference to the conservation of evolutionary potential in the scientific literature. The impression that one may have when reading papers is that conserving evolutionary potential can only be a good thing, whatever biological system is under scrutiny. However, different objectives, such as maintaining species richness versus ecosystem services, may express different, when not conflicting, underlying values attributed to biodiversity. For instance, biodiversity can be intrinsically valued, as worth it to be conserved per se, or it can be conserved as a means for human flourishing. Consequently, both the concept of evolutionary potential and the prescriptions derived from the commitment to conserve it remain problematic, due to a lack of explicit mention of the norms underlying different conservation visions. Here, we contend that those who advocate for the conservation of evolutionary potential should position their conception along four dimensions: what vehicles instantiate the evolutionary potential relevant to their normative commitment; what temporality is involved; how measurable evolutionary potential is, and what degree of human influence is tolerated. We need to address these dimensions if we are to determine why and when the maintenance of evolutionary potential is an appropriate target for the conservation of biodiversity.

“…Presence of GT73 glyphosate-resistant oilseed rape populations were detected in Argentina as herbicide tolerant weeds in the fields of glyphosate tolerant soybeans, even though the GT73 oilseed rape is not authorized for cultivation in Argentina. The origin of this event was not determined; however, the authors hypothesized that it came either from unauthorized transgenic oilseed rape crops cultivated in the country or as seed contaminants in imported oilseed rape cultivars or other seed imports (Pandolfo et al., 2016). Illegal introduction of Bt cotton has been reported in Pakistan, before formal regulation was introduced, and approvals granted (Cheema et al., 2016).…”

Genetically modified seeds and plant propagating material in Europe: potential routes of entrance and current status

Genetically modified organisms (GMO), mainly crop plants, are increasingly grown worldwide leading to large trade volumes of living seeds and other plant material both for cultivation and for food and animal feed. Even though all the traded GMOs have been assessed for their safety with regards to human and animal health and the environment, there still are some concerns regarding the potential uncontrolled release in the environment of authorized or unauthorized GM plants. In this review, we identify the possible entrance routes of GM seeds and other propagating plant material in the EU which could be linked to unauthorized release of GMOs in the environment. In addition, we discuss the situation with GM plant cultivation in some non-EU countries in terms of potential risks for GM seed imports. The available body of information suggests that GM seeds and plant propagating material can enter the EU due to problems with labeling/traceability of GM seed lots, contamination of conventional seed lots and accidental release into the environment of grains imported for food and animal feed. Even though cases of uncontrolled release of authorized GMOs, as well as, release of unauthorized GMOs have been reported, they can be generally attributed to adventitious and technically unavoidable presence with little environmental impact. In conclusion, the probability of GM seeds and plant propagating material illegally entering the cultivation in EU is unlikely. However, specific monitoring programs need to be established and maintained to facilitate the compliance of European farmers with the current GMO legislation.
