Further details
Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
The PV-GMHT4355  plasmid contained a second T-DNA cassette that encoded for the glyphosate tolerant form of EPSPS. The cassette contained the following elements in an antisense orientation to the dicamba expression cassette: P-FMV>> L-DnaK>> TS-CTP2>> CS-C4 EPSPS>> T-E9.

Southern blot analysis indicated that this expression cassette was not integrated into the MON87708 line and neither were any elements of the vector backbone.

Southern blot analysis and sequencing analysis indicated that a single intact dicamba expression cassette was integrated into the MON87708 line.
