Application of Polymerase Chain Reaction for High Sensitivity Detection of Roundup Ready™ Soybean Seeds and Grains in Varietal Mixtures
Strong increase in the production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) observed
over the years has led to a consolidation of transgenic seed industries worldwide. The dichotomy
between the evaluated risk and the perceived risk of transgenic use has defined their
level of acceptability among different global societies. GMOs have been widely applied to
agricultural commodities, among them the Roundup Ready™ (RR™) soybean line GTS 40-3-2
has become the most prevalent transgenic crop in the world. This variety was developed
to confer plant tolerance against glyphosate-based agricultural herbicide Roundup Ready™.
Issues related to detection and traceability of GMOs have gained worldwide interest due
to their increasing global diffusion and...
