What is one important concept to consider when planting genetically modified plants?

What will be an ideal response?


It is important to consider closely related plants that grow naturally in the area, particularly weedy plants. For example, if planting genetically modified rapeseed (from which we get canola oil), the presence of mustard plants in the vicinity should be considered, because genetic exchange is possible between closely related species.
