ASR368
Yes
SMG-368ØØ-2
ASR368 is an LM Creeping Bentgrass that was modified with the insertion of a DNA sequence coding for 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (epsps) gene from Agrobacterium sp. thereby conferring tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate found in Roundup.

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.

Some of these genetic elements may be present as fragments or truncated forms. Please see notes below, where applicable.
Southern blot and sequence analysis indicated that event ASR368 contains a single copy of the DNA insertion containing both cp4 epsps gene expression cassettes. Analyses also indicated that there was no incorporation of DNA from the vector backbone.
