N2 - The main objective of PGR Forum Workshop 5 was to agree on genetic erosion and
pollution assessment methodologies for European crop wild relatives (CWRs).
Participants considered how plant genetic erosion might be predicted and assessed using
existing methodologies, while questioning its effectiveness. The workshop also
considered how plant genetic pollution might be predicted and assessed. There are no
established methodologies for assessing plant genetic pollution, but the threat of genetic
pollution or introgression, either from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or from
conventionally bred crops, to wild species has become an increasing potential risk to the
in situ genetic conservation of crop wild relatives.
