Will hybrids of genetically modified crops invade natural communities?

A perceived danger of genetic modification of crops is that crop hybrids may not only become more-pernicious weeds of agriculture but that they may also become invasive of natural communities. New information on the extent of crop hybridization and the characteristics of modified crops is facilitati...
