Insuring Against Losses from Transgenic Contamination: The Case of Pharmaceutical Maize AgEcon
Ripplinger, David G.; Hayes, Dermot J.; Goggi, Susana; Lamkey, Kendall R..
Concerns about the risk of food supply contamination and the resulting financial losses have limited the development and commercialization of certain pharmaceutical plants. This article develops an insurance pricing model that helps translate these concerns into a cost-benefit analysis. The model first estimates the physical dispersal of maize pollen subject to a number of weather parameters. This distribution is then validated with the limited amount of currently available field trial data. The physical distribution is then used to calculate the premium for a fair-valued insurance policy that would fund the destruction of possibly contaminated fields. The flexible framework can be readily adapted to other crops, management practices, and regions.

INSURING AGAINST LOSSES FROM TRANSGENIC CONTAMINATION AgEcon
Ripplinger, David G.; Hayes, Dermot J.; Lamkey, Kendall R..
Concerns about contamination of the food supply and the financial losses that would result have limited the promise of certain genetically engineered plants. This article addresses the situation by constructing an insurance pricing model to protect against those losses. The model first estimates the physical dispersal of corn pollen subject to a number of parameters. This physical distribution is then used to calculate the premium for fair valued insurance that would be necessary to destroy contaminated fields. The flexible framework can be readily adapted to other crops, management practices, and regions.
Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Contemporaneous fertility; Insurance; Lagrangian stochastic model; Pharmaceutical-corn; Pollen dispersal; Crop Production/Industries; Risk and Uncertainty.

Pollen has higher water content when dispersed in a tricellular state than in a bicellular state Acta Botanica
Williams,Joseph H.; Brown,Chandler D..
ABSTRACT Pollen is generally dispersed in a sexually immature and somewhat dehydrated, metabolically quiescent state. Yet, in some species, pollen at anthesis is well-hydrated and metabolically active, and in 30 % of angiosperms pollen is dispersed after having formed its sperm cells. Pollen water content and sexual maturity may be correlated, either because both are subject to trade-offs between dispersal viability and post-pollination performance, or because the traits display developmental linkages. We inferred relative water content of sexually immature (“bicellular”) and sexually mature (“tricellular”) pollen of 30 species of angiosperms using a hydration index (HI) that ranges from zero to one, based on how near fresh pollen volume is to its minimal...
