The influence of pollinator diversity and behaviour on pollen movement in Brassica rapa chinensis (Pak-Choi) crops, and its significance for gene escape

The overall aim of the study was to assess the risk of gene flow from Brassica crops by insectmediated pollen transport. I measured the viability of pollen in Brassica flowers throughout crop development and compared this with the viability of pollen transported by insects inside and outside one ear...
