A workshop will be convened near Washington State University, October 12-14, 1987 to assess the likelihood that new weedy forms of higher plants could arise through techniques in recombinant DNA genetics. Each participant represents one or more relevant disciplines in plant biology. The participating ecologists, will characterize the life history and worldwide epidemiology of weeds that cause great damage, especially plants that readily escape cultivation. The plant geneticists and systematists will outline the precedents for the transfer of genetic information among common cultivated plants and their weedy relatives. Using common arable crop and forage species and their wild relatives, both these groups of specialists will identify a tentative list of hypothetical phenotypes that could be potentially damaging to the environment. To the extent proprietary interests permit, the invited molecular biologists will outline traits that could be imparted to these same common cultivated plants by recombinant DNA genetics. Working together, the participants will have as one objective an assessment of the potential for these hypothetical phenotypes to be produced directly (or indirectly through subsequent gene transfer in the wild) by recombinant DNA genetic techniques in higher plants in the next ten years. The participants will also identify the information (e.g., experiments, compilations of existing data on failure rates in plant introduction and agronomic field trials) needed to strengthen their predictions. The outcome of the meeting will be published for a wide scientific readership.

将于1987年10月12-14日在华盛顿州立大学附近召开一次研讨会，以评估通过重组DNA遗传学技术产生新的杂草形式的高等植物的可能性。每个参与者代表植物生物学中的一个或多个相关学科。参与的生态学家将描述造成巨大破坏的杂草的生活史和全球流行病学，特别是容易逃脱种植的植物。植物遗传学家和系统学家将概述在普通栽培植物及其杂草近亲之间转移遗传信息的先例。利用常见的可耕种作物和饲料物种及其野生近亲，这两组专家都将确定一份可能对环境造成潜在破坏的假想表型的暂定清单。在专利利益允许的范围内，受邀的分子生物学家将概述可以通过重组DNA遗传学赋予这些常见栽培植物的特征。通过共同努力，参与者将有一个目标来评估在未来十年内通过重组DNA基因技术在高等植物中直接(或通过随后的野外基因转移)间接产生这些假想表型的潜力。与会者还将确定加强他们的预测所需的信息(例如，试验、关于植物引种失败率的现有数据汇编和农艺田间试验)。会议成果将面向广大科学读者群发表。
