MON 88302 × Ms8

GM event

MON 88302 × Ms8

Unique identifier code

MON-883Ø2-9 × ACSBNØØ5-8

Characteristics

MON88302 oilseed rape expresses the CP4 EPSPS protein, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.
Ms8 oilseed rape expresses the barnase protein and the PAT protein, which confers tolerance to glufosinate ammonium-based herbicides.
The expression of barnase and barstar proteins from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens constitutes the basis of a male fertility control system, through the use of the barnase gene, which removes male fertility in order to promote hybridisation, and the barstar gene which restores male fertility with oilseed rape lines Ms8 and Rf3 for obtaining heterosis (hybrid vigour).

Detection method

Event specific real-time quantitative PCR based methods for MON88302, Ms8 and Rf3 oilseed rapes; the detection methods are validated on the single events and verified on genomic DNA extracted from seeds of MON88302 x Ms8 x Rf3 oilseed rape.
Validated by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdossiers.aspx
