Rapeseed GT73

Trait: GT73 Rapeseed was developed to allow the use of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicideRoundup®
Inserted genes:
cp4 epsps-gene	source: soil bacterium Agrobacterium ssp. strain CP4. funktion: Through the change of one amino acid the plants are tolerant to glyphosate.
gox-gene	source: soil bacterium (Ochrobactrum anthropi) function: Glyphosate oxidase (GOX) enzyme accelerates the normal breakdown of the herbicide glyphosate into two non-toxic compounds, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and glyoxylate.
Methods for the genetic modification: Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer.
