Canola modified for herbicide tolerance
EN
aroA, thiO
No
Canola was modified with the insertion of the aroA gene from Dickeya dadantii encoding a modified 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) and the thiO gene from Bacillus subtilis which encodes a glycine oxidase. Te transformation of these genes into the canola genome confers resistance to the herbicide glyphosate.
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.
