Abstract

The biotechnological development of disease resistance is going to be increasingly important for future transgenic plants. Therefore, it is appropriate to investigate the effect of a potential spread of resistance genes to other populations or species on the natural environment. Here modelling becomes an important tool in estimating probabilities and evaluation of the risks of the spread of a resistance gene.
