Petunia modified for altered flower colour
EN
Unknown
No
Unauthorized petunias that have been modified for altered flower color were found and tested for the presence of introduced genetic elements.
The petunias tested positive for the presence of several genetic elements: CS-dfr-MAIZE, P-35S-CaMV, P-nos-RHIRD, T-35S-CaMV, CS-nptII-ECOLX and T-ocs-RHIRD.
They also tested positive for the junctions between the elements P-nos-RHIRD to CS-nptII-ECOLX and P-35S-CaMV to CS-dfr-MAIZE.

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.

In addition to CS-dfr-MAIZE the petunias have been tested positive for several of the listed genetic elements. The order of the genetic elements in these gm petunia varieties is not known. Moreover, it is possible that further genetic elements are present in one or more of the gm petunia varieties.
The insert of the petunia varieties Bonnie Orange/African Sunset were fully characterised by Bashandy et. al. In these varieties the elements are arranged in the following order: P-35S-CaMV; CS-dfr-MAIZE; T-35S-CaMV; P-nos-RHIRD; CS-nptII-ECOLX; T-ocs-RHIRD.
