Abstract: With the development of commercial use of transgenic plants, ecological risk assessment on transgenic plants had been discussed, such as the likelihood of genes dispersal from transgenic plants to related wild species, the occurrence of super_weeds and the tolerance to insect_resistant transgenic plants, the influence on bio_diversity etc. This paper reviewed several major approaches of genes escape from transgenic plants. In addition, the methods about the research were also briefly discussed.
