RT73 (GT73) Canola Type Determination and Quantity Analysis

GT73 or RT73 is a genetically engineered canola strain whose DNA has been modified to rely on the herbicide glyphosate. The RT73 (GT73) canola strain has been genetically engineered to contain a gene derived from the agrobacterium bacterium. Proteins in this gene confer tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate. Expression of transferred genes is partially controlled by gene sequences derived from a plant pathogenic virus.

Monsanto company supplies the genetically modified oilseed rape GT73 to the European Union countries. Oilseed rape has been genetically modified with two genes encoding proteins that confer glyphosate tolerance. One of the proteins is a gene that Monsanto transferred to soybeans. The second protein is a gene that acts by breaking down glyphosate into glyoxylic acid. The scope of application covers different food uses.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) found no evidence that the GT73 canola strain poses any risk to animal or human health or the environment. However, this is controversial for many individuals and organizations. EFSA ignores warnings and concerns for unknown reasons.

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. RT73 (GT73) canola type determination and quantity analysis services are among the numerous tests carried out in this context.
