Cardamine hirsuta

Did you know that seed companies where doing genetic engineering so roundup
could be sprayed over an entire field. The genetic resistant crop would
live and every other plant in the field would die. That way farmers could use
even more chemical-Russ

Alberto,

Sure, this would be interesting.
You have mentionned GM soy engineered for roundup.
Have you ever heard about any GMO which seeds would get activated by
roundup ?
In the case of Cardamine hirsuta, the seed is so tiny that it may be more
exposed to environemental chemicals than bigger seeds ?

But if such GMOs do exist, one will need to understand if it was possible
that Cardamine got polluted by the roundup genes ?
If it is not genetic pollution, then what is it ?

Has anyone ever observed this phenomenon somewhere else or is it my local
strain of Cardamine only, and I'm so lucky ?
