Cotton modified for herbicide tolerance
EN
MON88701 x MON88913
Yes
MON-887Ø1-3 × MON-88913-8
The stacked cotton line MON88701 x MON88913 was obtained through the traditional cross breeding of each of the parental organisms to proguce a plant that expresses EPSPS, that confers tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, as well as Dicamba monooxygenase gene that confers tolerance to the herbicide dicamba and Phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase gene that confers tolerance to the herbicide glufosate.

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.

DNA insert from MON 88913 vector PV-GHGT35
This LMO contains a novel form of the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) that allows MON 88913 to survive otherwise lethal applications of glyphosate.

DNA insert from MON88701 vector PV-GHHT6997
Cotton modified with the insertion of transformation cassette containing the Dicamba monooxygenase (DMO) gene and Bialaphos resistance (BAR) gene to confer resistance to the herbicides Dicamba and Glufosinate respectively.
