GM event

GHB614 x LLcotton25 x MON 15985

Unique identifier code

GHØØ2-5 × ACS-GHØØ1-3 × MON-15985-7

Characteristics

The genetically modified cotton GHB614 × LLCotton25 × MON 15985, as described in the application, expresses the 2mEPSPS protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides, the PAT protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium based herbicides, the Cry1Ac and the Cry1Ab2 proteins which confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests. In addition, uidA gene, coding for the GUS protein, nptII gene, conferring kanamycin and neomycin resistance, and aadA gene, conferring spectinomycin and streptomycin resistance, were used as selection markers in the genetic modification process.

Detection method

The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods for cotton GHB614 × LLCotton25 × MON 15985 are those validated for genetically modified cotton events BCS-GHØØ2-5, ACS-GHØØ1-3 and MON-15985-7. The detection methods have been validated on genomic DNA extracted from leaves BCS-GHØØ2-5, ACS-GHØØ1-3 and MON-15985-7 cotton.
Validated by the EU reference laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/StatusOfDossiers.aspx
