Soybean 40-3-2 (RoundupReady)


Trait: Tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides (Roundup®)
Inserted gene:
cp4 epsps-Gen

Source: Soil bacterium Agrobacterium ssp. strain CP4.

Funktion: The cp4 epsps gene encodes for a version of EPSPS that is highly tolerant to inhibition by glyphosate and therefore leads to increased tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides.

Methods for the genetic modification: Microparticle bombardment of plant cells or tissue
