Pink Bollworm Modified for the Expression of a Fluorescent Marker
EN
OX1138
No
The pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) event OX1138 contains a fluorescent marker called DsRed2 that glows red when viewed under certain filters.

This LMO is a commercial  product of Oxitec Ltd (UK) which incorporates a configuration of the RIDL system.
