Isolation Distance For Genetically Modified Plants
Isolation distances are used in regions where genetically modified (GM) and conventional or organic crops are grown in co-existence. When different cropping systems are grown in proximity to each other, the "isolation distance" between fields refers to the area separating them, on which genetically modified pollen can settle without fertilising non-GM crops.

Famous quotes containing the words isolation, distance, genetically, modified and/or plants:
“But your isolation must not be mechanical, but spiritual, that is, must be elevation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“[As we say], “When you get to be 18 you’re out of here.” No wonder teenagers start to distance themselves from us.”
—Jerry Tello (20th century)
“UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“Brute force crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
