veranderten P anzen in der Landwirtschaft: Das Beispiel Raps in Norddeutschland

The production of genetically modied (GM) plants became feasable as a result of biotechnological advancement. Oilseed rape is one of the species where genetical modi cations have been applied. Admission for these varieties in Europe is sought but not yet given. Biosafety research attempts to analyse potential implications and processes which may result from an introduction and commercialisation of this GM crop in Europe. The paper presents the current state of the joint research project GenEERA (Generic analysis and extrapolation of oilseed rape dispersal), which aims at an extrapolation of potential interaction of GM oilseed rape and conventional crops as well as feral populations and potential hybridisation partners. The paper presents the projects approach to combine information on dierent integration levels, on the 20 B. Breckling et al. molecular and eco-physiological level, up to geographical information and remote sensing data in order to estimate potential distribution dynamics on the landscap
