Abstract

Invasive plants cause significant environmental and economic damage, but land managers have few control options. Common tansy ( Tanacetum vulgare ) is prevalent in many US states and is one of the most reported invasive plants in Minnesota. Controlling common tansy poses a challenge due to its extensive distribution and association with diverse plant communities. A gene drive is being explored as a genetic biocontrol method for the management of several non-native invasives, including common tansy in North America. Gene drives have emerged as a novel biotechnology application with potential to improve public health, promote conservation, and increase agricultural productivity. In common tansy, gene drives could be developed to target genes that would reduce or eliminate female fertility and consequently inhibit common tansy seed production. Using common tansy as an example, we outline risks associated with the use of gene drive technology for invasive plant control and explain how risks may be mitigated. Understanding potential benefits and risks associated with gene drives in the early stages of development is crucial. Mitigating risks, receiving stakeholder input, and navigating the regulatory environment will play an important role in gene drive development and deployment.

基因驱动对入侵植物管理的益处和风险——以普通三色堇为例
入侵植物造成严重的环境和经济破坏,但土地管理者几乎没有控制选择。普通三色堇(Tanacetum vulgare)普遍存在于美国许多州,是明尼苏达州报道最多的入侵植物之一。由于普通三色堇分布广泛且与多种植物群落有联系,因此对其控制提出了挑战。基因驱动正在被探索作为一种遗传生物控制方法来管理几种非本地入侵,包括北美的普通三色堇。基因驱动已成为一种新的生物技术应用,具有改善公众健康、促进保护和提高农业生产力的潜力。在普通的三色堇中,基因驱动可以开发为目标基因,这些基因会降低或消除女性的生育能力,从而抑制普通三色堇的种子生产。以普通三色堇为例,我们概述了与使用基因驱动技术进行入侵植物控制相关的风险,并解释了如何减轻风险。了解基因驱动在早期发育阶段的潜在益处和风险是至关重要的。降低风险,接受利益相关者的意见,并在监管环境中导航,将在基因驱动的开发和部署中发挥重要作用。
