- Title
MODELING SEED DISPERSAL DISTANCES: IMPLICATIONS FOR TRANSGENIC PINUS TAEDA.

- Abstract
The article provides information on the process used in predicting forest-tree seed dispersal. It is useful for estimating gene flow from genetically engineered or transgenic trees. The researchers used computer simulation based on measurements from a plantation established by wild forest-tree seeds since it prohibits experiments that use transgenic trees. Long-distance dispersal distances of Pinus taeda seeds were consistent with an anecdotal report of pine seed dispersal in treeless areas. The effect of leaf-area density differences was accounted.
