The genetically modified T45 canola strain is a canola strain resistant to glufosinate ammonium. The T45 canola strain has undergone extensive evaluation and these studies are based on internationally accepted principles to ensure the safety of foods derived from genetically modified organisms.
The T45 canola strain has been developed through genetic modification to be tolerant to glufosinate ammonium, the herbicide's active ingredient. The amendment allows farmers to use broad-spectrum herbicides for weed control to grow canola without damaging the crop.
The transferred DNA is based on a gene originally isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces viridochromogen, a common soil bacterium.
Analyzes show that no protein or its enzymatic activity has been detected in the genetically modified T45 canola strain used for human consumption. This protein is an enzyme that is highly specific for glufosinate ammonium and is not heat stable. It shares no similarity with sequences of known toxins or allergens.
Human consumption of canola products is limited to refined oil. The processing of refined canola oil destroys the enzymatic activity of the transferred protein. The transferred protein is not detected in refined oil. Therefore, human exposure to protein transferred as a result of consumption of refined canola oil from T45-derived plants is not expected.
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. T45 canola type determination and quantity analysis services are among the numerous tests carried out in this context.
