GM event

GHB614 × T304-40 × GHB119

Unique identifier code

BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-8

Characteristics

The genetically modified cotton BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-
8 expresses the 2mepsps gene, which confers tolerance to glyphosate based
herbicides, the bar gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium based
herbicides, the cry1Ab and the cry2Ae genes, which confer resistance to certain
lepidopteran pests
