Corn plant MON88017 and compositions and methods for detection thereof

摘要

The present invention provides a corn plant designated MON88017 and DNA compositions contained therein. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the corn plant MON88017 based on a DNA sequence and the use of this DNA sequence as a molecular marker in a DNA detection method.

主权项

1. A method of detecting the presence of DNA corresponding to corn event MON88017 in a sample, the method comprising:
(a) contacting the sample with a DNA primer pair, wherein said DNA primer pair comprises a first DNA molecule and a second DNA molecule that function as DNA primers when used together in a DNA amplification method to produce an amplicon diagnostic for corn event MON88017 DNA; and (b) performing a polynucleic acid amplification reaction, thereby producing an amplicon; and (c) detecting said amplicon,wherein said amplicon comprises SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO:2.
