Dicamba- and Glufosinate-tolerant cotton
EN
MON88701
Yes
MON-887Ø1-3
The cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) was modified for tolerance to the herbicides dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) and glufosinate. For tolerance to dicamba, the cotton expresses Stenotrophomonas maltophilia dicamba monooxygenase, which inactivates the herbicide via oxidative demethylation. For tolerance to glufosinate, the cotton expresses Streptomyces hygroscopicus phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase, which inactivate the herbicide via acetylation.

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.

    Promoter
The modified cotton contains two gene cassettes: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia dicamba monooxygenase (dmo) and Streptomyces hygroscopicus phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (bar).

The dmo coding sequence is under control of a Peanut chlorotic streak virus promoter and Gossypium barbadense E6 terminator. A Tobacco etch virus 5' untranslated region was added between the promoter and dmo coding sequence to enhance transcription of dmo.

The bar coding sequence is under control of a Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S enhanced promoter and an Agrobacterium tumefaciens nopaline synthases terminator. A Petunia hybrida heat shock protein 70 leader was added between the viral promoter and the bar coding sequence to enhance expression of bar.

Note:
Southern Blot and sequence analysis indicated that the transformation cassette was inserted into the MON88701 genome at a single intact locus containing all the genetic elements without the integration of vector backbone sequences.
