Definitions:

Gene Flow

The movement of alleles between local populations due to the migration of individuals; can have significant evolutionary consequences.

Herbicide-Tolerant Weeds

Weeds that have developed resistance to herbicides, making them difficult to control in agricultural settings.

Herbicide-Tolerant Plants

Genetically modified or selectively bred plants that possess the ability to survive and reproduce after exposure to herbicides aimed at killing weeds.

Transgenic Crops

Plants that have been genetically modified by inserting DNA from a different species to express desired traits such as pest resistance or increased yield.
