MON531 Cotton Type Determination and Quantity Analysis

The genetically modified cotton strain MON531 is a cotton strain that has been genetically engineered to resist bollworm, tobacco budworm and pink scab by producing its own pesticide. This strain was developed by transforming a gene isolated from the common soil bacterium bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) into a cotton gene.

The stability of the inserted DNA has been verified over several generations. Bioinformatic analyzes and levels of recombinant proteins did not raise any safety concerns. Analysis of the compositional, phenotypic and agronomic characteristics showed that cotton MON531 was not different from its traditional counterpart and was within the range observed among conventional cotton varieties in composition. Transferred proteins With the MON531 cotton strain, the safety assessment raised no concerns regarding potential toxicity and allergenicity.

The genetically modified cotton strain MON531 does not contain live plant parts. Gene transfer from MON531 cotton strains to bacteria has not been shown to pose a risk to human or animal health and the environment, depending on its intended use. Exposure of potentially sensitive non-target organisms to this protein is likely very low and of no biological relevance.

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, MON531 cotton type determination and quantity analysis services are also available.
