TRANSGENIC SUGAR BEET EVENT GM RZ13

摘要

A novel transgenic sugar beet event designated GM RZ13 is disclosed. The invention relates to nucleic acids that are unique to event GM RZ13. The invention also relates to assays for detecting the presence of the GM RZ13 event based on DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the sugar beet genome that resulted in the GM RZ13 event and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. The invention further relates to sugar beet plants comprising the genotype of GM RZ13 and to methods for producing a sugar beet plant by crossing a sugar beet plant comprising the GM RZ13 genotype with itself or another sugar beet variety. Seeds of sugar beet plants comprising the GM RZ13 genotype are also objects of the present invention.
