Fooling Mother Nature by The Register-Guard (Eugene, OR) Most previous studies of gene escapes have focused on pollen straying far and wide, says Jean-Francois Arnaud of the Universite de Lille 1 in France. Crop genes diffuse in seedy ways. (Botany) by Science News 14) A report submitted to MAFF in 1997 had indeed raised the possibility that Agrobacterium tumefaciens could be a vector for gene escape (15, 16).
