A stacked insect-resistant and glyphosate-tolerant cotton derived from conventional cross-breeding of MON-ØØ531-6 and MON-Ø1445-2.  Tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate produced through incorporation of the epsps gene encoding 5-enolpyruvylshikimaete-3-phosphate synthase (epsps), that confers tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate and resistance to lepidoptera insects from the cry1Ac gene from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. The neomycin phosphotransferase II (npt II) gene confers resistance to the antibiotic kanamycin.

DNA insert from vector PV-GHBK04
From the MON531 parental organism. Contains coding sequences and regulatory elements for cry1A(c) and nptII. The aadA gene was also integrated into the host genome, however it is only expressed in bacterial cells.

DNA insert from vector PV-GHGT07
From the MON1445 parental organism. contains coding sequences and regulatory elements for epsps and nptII. The aadA gene was also integrated into the host genome, however it is only expressed in bacterial cells. The PV-GHGT07 vector also contained a coding sequence for the Glyphosate oxidoreductase (GOX) gene however southern blot analysis indicated that that it was not integrated into the host genome.
