MONITORING OF PROPAGATION OF BIOTECHNOLOGICAL CROPS IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Monitoring of presence and propagation of biotechnological crops in Ukraine was conducted during 2013-2016. GMO detection was provided by own kits with patent and technical requirements. Designed kits are based on TaqMan-method of Real-Time PCR and allow to detect biotech crops either regulatory elements, and target genes and allow some GM lines of soy, maize and rape to be identified also.
