H7-1 Sugar Beet Type Identification and Quantity Analysis

The genetically modified strain H7-1 was obtained by transferring a gene from the bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens to the sugar beet plant. In PCR analyzes performed to characterize the transferred DNA, it was determined that only the DNA conferring glyphosate tolerance was transferred.

In the light of the evaluations, it has been determined that the genetically modified H7-1 sugar beet variety has similar characteristics and composition with the non-genetically modified commercial sugar beet variety. However, it is warned that different environmental conditions may be effective on these properties and composition.

Inherited gene in the glyphosate-tolerant H7-1 sugar beet strainIt has been determined that the DNA fragments are stable and the structures of the DNA fragments are included in the genome without deteriorating. In addition, this new strain was found to be similar in allergenicity to its non-genetically modified counterpart.

Finally, it was determined that the glyphosate tolerant hybrid strains formed by gene transfer from H7-1 sugar beet strain to traditional sugar beet cultivars would not have any advantage other than herbicide resistance.

It was decided that the potential effects of using the genetically modified H7-1 sugar beet species for feed purposes would not be higher than the non-genetically modified species in terms of human, animal and environmental health.

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 H7-1 sugar beet type determination and quantity analysis services.
