Herbicide tolerant cotton plants and methods for identifying same

摘要

The invention provides specific transgenic cotton plants, plant material and seeds, characterized in that these products harbor a specific transformation event at a specific location in the cotton genome. Tools are also provided which allow rapid and unequivocal identification of the event in biological samples.

主权项

1. A method for identifying elite event EE-GH3 in biological samples comprising hybridizing a nucleic acid of biological samples with a specific probe that recognizes a part of the 5′ or 3′ flanking region of EE-GH3 and a part of the foreign DNA of EE-GH3 contiguous therewith, said 5′ flanking region comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 from nucleotide 1 to nucleotide 732 and said foreign DNA contiguous with said 5′ flanking region comprises SEQ ID No. 1 from nucleotide 733 to nucleotide 1214, said 3′ flanking region comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 2 from nucleotide 431 to nucleotide 654 and said foreign DNA contiguous with said 3′ flanking region comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 2 from nucleotide 1 to nucleotide 430.
