Description

Sugarbeets were modified to constitutively express a synthetic phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (pat) gene.

As a result of the genetic modification the resulting sugarbeet is tolerant to L-phosphinothricin-containing herbicides.

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

The amino acid sequence of the pat gene is based on the pat gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes but was codon optimized for expression in sugarbeet.
