Specifics and challenges of assessing exposure and effects of pesticides in small water bodies
Stefan Lorenz,Rasmussen, Jes, J.,Angelika Süß,Thomas Kalettka,Burkhard Golla,Peter Horney,Matthias Stähler,Bernd Hommel,R.B. Schäfe +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the major challenges that can complicate the detection of exceedances of regulatory acceptable pesticide concentrations in small water bodies (SWB) due to their close connection to adjacent agricultural fields in combination with their low water volume or discharge.

Effects of transgenic fructan-producing potatoes on the community structure of rhizosphere and phyllosphere bacteria.
TL;DR: The rhizosphere and phyllosphere microbial communities of transgenic potatoes producing fructan were studied in comparison with isogenic controls and conventional varieties in a field release experiment over a period of 3 years and revealed significant differences in the community structure between the transgenic lines producing inulin and the other variants.

Coexistence in Maize: Do Nonmaize Buffer Zones Reduce Gene Flow between Maize Fields?
Maren Langhof,Bernd Hommel,Alexandra Hüsken,Joachim Schiemann,Peter Wehling,Ralf Wilhelm,Gerhard Rühl +6 more
TL;DR: Based on the present study, growing sunflower as a tall crop between GM and non-GM maize cannot be recommended as an appropriate coexistence measure.

Coexistence in Maize: Isolation Distance in Dependence on Conventional Maize Field Depth and Separate Edge Harvest
Maren Langhof,Bernd Hommel,Alexandra Hüsken,Charles Njontie,Joachim Schiemann,Peter Wehling,Ralf Wilhelm,Gerhard Rühl +7 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that for non-GM maize fi elds being 200 m deep or more an isolation distance of 50 m is suffi cient to keep the GM content of the total grain harvest below the European Union (EU) labeling threshold of 0.9%.

Coexistence in Maize: Effect on Pollen-Mediated Gene Flow by Conventional Maize Border Rows Edging Genetically Modified Maize Fields
Gerhard Rühl,Bernd Hommel,Alexandra Hüsken,Klaus Mastel,Joachim Schiemann,Peter Wehling,Maren Langhof +6 more
TL;DR: Overall, no pollen-mediated gene flow reducing effect of border rows was observed in the present study, although synchrony of anthesis between GM maize and border row maize was given at each site, and planting 9-m- or 18-M-wide conventional maize border rows at the GM field edge is no reliable coexistence measure, at least if combined with an isolation distance.
