What is adventitious presence in seed?
This refers to the unintended or unintentional presence of another seed variety or genetic material, and/or trait(s) from another variety as a result of natural, mechanical or human means. While the other seed variety, genetic material or trait could be from a variety that was conventional or one that was improved through biotechnology, the term is often associated with the latter. For example, the detection of trace amounts of biotech material in traditional seed would be referred to as adventitious biotech presence.
