NK603 Corn Type Determination and Quantity Analysis

Corn strain NK603 was developed to allow the use of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, as a weed control option. The NK603 plant enzyme ensures the survival of the plant against the otherwise lethal application of glyphosate.

Scientific risk analysis and evaluation studies of NK603 maize and its products were carried out by taking into account the gene transfer method used in the development of this strain, the characterization of the transferred gene and the protein it produces, its nutritional value, possible allergic, toxic and possible escape to the environment. The structure and gene transfer method of the vectors carrying the transferred genes, and the molecular structure, expression and stability analyzes of the transferred genes were performed separately. Chemical composition and risk analysis of agricultural characteristics, analysis of agricultural characteristics, toxicity assessment, allergenicity assessment and environmental risk assessment (spread potential due to genetic change, plant-to-plant gene escape and plant-to-bacteria gene escape) were examined in all aspects.

As a result of all these studies carried out for the genetically modified NK603 corn type in our country by the Biosafety Board, this type will be used for feed purposes and will not be produced.shower has been decided.

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. NK603 corn type determination and quantity analysis services are among the numerous tests carried out in this context.
