Genetic pollution
Genetic pollution is a controversial〔〔 term for uncontrolled〔〔Norman C. Ellstrand, 2001. "When Transgenes Wander, Should We Worry?" Plant Physiol, Vol.125, pp.1543-1545〕 gene flow into wild populations. This gene flow is undesirable according to some environmentalists and conservationists, including groups such as Greenpeace, TRAFFIC, and GeneWatch UK.〔(GE agriculture and genetic pollution ) web article hosted by Greenpeace.org〕〔http://archive.greenpeace.org/pressreleases/geneng/2001may11.html ILLEGAL GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CORN FROM MONSANTO DETECTED IN ARGENTINA〕〔(GM Contamination Register )〕〔Greenpeace, "Say no to genetic pollution" (n.d.) http://www.greenpeace.org〕〔〔
==Usage==
* Some conservation biologists and conservationists have used genetic pollution for a number of years as a term to describe gene flow (which they regard as undesirable) from a domestic, feral, non-native or invasive subspecies to a wild indigenous population.〔(ITALY'S WILD DOGS WINNING DARWINIAN BATTLE ), By PHILIP M. BOFFEY, Published: December 13, 1983, ''THE NEW YORK TIMES''. Accessed 27 November 2009: "Although wolves and dogs have always lived in close contact in Italy and have presumably mated in the past, the newly worrisome element, in Dr. Boitani's opinion, is the increasing disparity in numbers, which suggests that interbreeding will become fairly common. As a result, ''genetic pollution'' of the wolf gene pool ''might reach irreversible levels,'' he warned. ''By hybridization, dogs can easily absorb the wolf genes and destroy the wolf, as it is,'' he said. The wolf might survive as a more doglike animal, better adapted to living close to people, he said, but it would not be ''what we today call a wolf.''"〕〔Butler D. (1994). Bid to protect wolves from genetic pollution. ''Nature'' 370: 497 〕〔Potts B. M., Barbour R. C., Hingston A. B., Vaillancourt R. E. (2003) Corrigendum to: TURNER REVIEW No. 6 ''Genetic pollution of native eucalypt gene pools—identifying the risks''. Australian Journal of Botany 51, 333–333. 〕
* The term is of late being associated with the gene flow from a genetically engineered (GE) organism to a non GE organism,〔 frequently by those who consider such gene flow detrimental.〔
