Tobacco modified for tolerance to bromoxynil
EN
C/F/93/08-02
No
Genetically modified Nicotiana tabacum, variety ITB 1000 OX, male sterile hybrid, resistant to the herbicide bromoxynil as a result of the expression of the nitrilase gene from Klebsiella ozaenae.
EN
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.
Nicotiana tabacum variety "ITB 1000 OX, male sterile hybrid" was used for the modification
