biodiversity (communications arising): maize transgene results in mexico are artefacts.	quist and chapela's conclusion that the transgenes they claim to have detected in native maize in oaxaca, mexico, are predominantly reassorted and inserted into a "diversity of genomic contexts" seems to be based on an artefact arising from the inverse polymerase chain reaction (i-pcr) they used to amplify sequences flanking 35s transgenes from cauliflower mosaic virus (camv).	2002	11935145
absence of detectable transgenes in local landraces of maize in oaxaca, mexico (2003-2004).	in 2000, transgenes were detected in local maize varieties (landraces) in the mountains of oaxaca, mexico [quist, d. & chapela, i. h. (2001) nature 414, 541-543]. this region is part of the mesoamerican center of origin for maize (zea mays l.), and the genetic diversity that is maintained in open-pollinated landraces is recognized as an important genetic resource of great cultural value. the presence of transgenes in landraces was significant because transgenic maize has never been approved for ...	2005	16093316
