LMO name
Sugar beet modified for herbicide tolerance
Transformation event
T227-1
Developer(s)
Record #43679
Monsanto Europe S.A.
Avenue de Tervuren 270-272
Brussels
Belgium, B-1150
Description
The T227-1 sugar beet (
Beta vulgaris
) was modified with the insertion of
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) to confer herbicide tolerance to the glyphosate. The variation in the bacterial enzyme allows the plant to tolerate otherwise lethal doses of glyphosate.
Note:
The beet lines T227-1 and H7 (Record ID: 14773 - see below) are independent transformation lines containing the same genetic elements.
Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms
The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
Transcription of the
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (epsps) gene is under control of the Figwort Mosaic Virus 35S promoter and the
Pisum sativum
Rubisco small subunit (rbcS-E9) terminator. The transcript contains an
Arabidopsis thaliana
chloroplast transit peptide at the 5' end of the transcript to facilitate post-translational targeting to the chloroplast. Due to the viral promoter, transcription is expected to occur constitutively at elevated levels.
Please note: the nucleic acid sequence of the epsps gene was codon-optimized for expression in plants.
