Abstract
The possible implications of hybridisation and introgression between crops and wild plant species are so far unclear because it is difficult to predict how the genetically engineered genes will be expressed in a related wild species. Wheat is typically self-pollinated (via anthers within each enclosed floret), and any outcrossing that does occur is facilitated by wind pollen dispersal. Evidence suggests that wheat has limited potential for outcrossing with wild relatives in Europe. The wild relatives with which wheat has been known to cross are confined to field margins or disturbed places and never
seem to form substantial populations or become invasive to other habitats.
