GHB614 Cotton Type Determination and Quantity Analysis

According to the results of the analysis and evaluation studies of genetically modified cotton types GHB614, T304-40 and GHB119, no safety problems have been identified for their intended use. In risk assessment studies, analyzes of the molecular properties of the inserted DNA and the expression of the corresponding proteins, comparative analyzes of the compositional, agronomic and phenotypic properties, the safety and environmental risk assessment of the newly expressed proteins and whole food and feed in terms of potential toxicity, allergenicity and nutritional properties were performed.

Molecular data reveal that the genetically modified cotton strains GHB614, T304-40 and GHB119 retain their integrity. Protein expression analysis shows that the levels of newly expressed proteins were similar in the three cotton species and in single events.

Given the magnitude of the differences observed in the benchmark, the nature of the endpoints, and the result of the equivalence test, it is considered that none of the agronomic and phenotypic differences between the genetically modified cotton strains GHB614, T304-40 and GHB119 and the comparison needs. With the exception of total fat, dihydrosterculic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid, no further food and feed safety assessments are needed on compositional properties. These differences do not raise concerns about neither food and feed safety nor nutritional issues.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also GHB614 cotton type determination and quantity analysis services.
