MON88017 Corn Type Determination and Quantity Analysis

Developed by Monsato, MON88017 is a GMO maize and meal, defined by the genetically modified code MON88017, resistant to corn worms and tolerant to glyphosate herbicide. The control of weeds, which cause a significant decrease in yield and quality of plants, is carried out using traditional methods such as hoeing, hand plucking and chemical herbicides. Despite this difficult struggle, weeds cause serious yield loss and decrease in product quality in agricultural areas. For this purpose, biotechnological methods have been developed in recent years and genetically modified plants resistant to glyphosinate ammonium and glyphosate herbicides have been produced by transferring certain genes to plants. MON88017 corn strain is one of them.

The potential risks of importing the genetically modified MON88017 corn strain for use as feed were investigated by the Biosafety Board in our country.. The structure of genes, DNA sequencing and gene transfer method transferred to MON88017 corn strain by biotechnological methods were examined in detail. As a result, at the end of the comparative analyzes, it was decided that this genetically modified maize strain is as safe as the maize types grown by conventional methods, has not undergone any change in allergenicity and there is no difference in nutrient content.

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, MON88017 corn type determination and quantity analysis services are also available.
