Abstract: Gene flow is a key problem and top topic in risk assessment and management of transgenic plants.Five major study a- reas of gene dispersal in transgenic plants were reviewed in this paper,which include gene flow from transgenic plant to its wild species,characteritics of gene flow based on pollen,methods of doing experiment and risk assessment for gene flow,safety standards of risk assessment of transgenic plants,and long-term ecological impact of gene flow in the future.Some areas needed to be studied further were also proposed.
