"Sunflowers"
by Emily Caldwell
Researchers studied genetically engineered sunflowers – those modified with a gene that produces a chemical toxic to certain insects – to see what happened when these foreign genes, called transgenes, were inadvertently passed along to weedy relatives. The study showed that a gene artificially inserted into crop plants to fend off pests can migrate to weeds in a natural environment and make the weeds stronger. It was the first example of what could happen if a beneficial transgene accidentally spread to a wild population and then proliferated in subsequent generations. The research was led by Allison Snow, professor of evolution, ecology and organismal biology and now director of Ohio State’s undergraduate research office.
