Genetically Modified Cotton
Genetically modified cotton is grown commercially for more than 10 years, the global planting area exceeds 15 M ha. Cotton is not only used to fabricate textiles. Cotton products are also used in food, feed, cosmetics or dressing materials.
A comprehensive screening strategy for all relevant GM cotton events requires four different screening methods. Our new multiplex method CottonScreen combines all necessary detection methods in one analytical step.
To date the following GMO Cotton events may be of importance:
