Explain the herbicide resistance to wild plants

Reference no: EM13233080

You are an agricultural geneticist and you suspect that cross-pollination between genetically modified food crops and neighbouring weeds may have led to the spread of a gene for herbicide resistance to wild plants. How might you set about discovering if this had occurred?
