Product details

GM event
MS8
Unique identifier code
ACS-BNØØ5-8
Characteristics
The male sterile oilseed rape line MS8 and progeny obtained through traditional breeding crosses with non-transgenic rape (Brassica napus L spp oleifera). Line MS8 contains a barnase gene (origin Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) coding for a ribonuclease, that is only expressed in the tapetum cells during anther development and results in lack of viable pollen and male sterility, and a bar gene (origin Streptomyces hygroscopus) coding for a phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) used as a selectable marker for tolerance to herbicides containing glufosinate ammonium. The bar gene is driven by a plant promoter that is active in all green tissues of the plant.
Detection method
Event specific real-time PCR detection method for MS8, oilseed rape.
Validated on seeds by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at URL: http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/StatusOfDossiers.aspx
