Cotton MON88913xMON15985

Trait: Resistance to lepidopteran pests and tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides (stacked hybrid produced by crossing lines MON88913 and MON15985).
Inserted gene:
cryIa(c)+cry2ab2-gene	Source:Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki Function: These genes encode the Bt-toxins Cry1A(c) and Cry2Ab2, which confer resistance to lepidopteran pests of cotton, such as tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens), cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa zea), pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella), and soybean looper (Pseudoplusia includens).
cp4 epsps-gene	Source: soil bacterium Agrobacterium ssp. strain CP4. Function: the cp4 epsps gene encodes for a version of EPSPS that is highly tolerant to inhibition by glyphosate.
Methods for genetic modification: Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer
