Abstract

Legislation enacted worldwide to regulate the content of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in crops, foods, and ingredients, reliable and sensitive methods for GMO detection have been developed. Proteins produced in GMO plants can be determined by qualitative and quantitative analyses and thus GMO designation has performed exactly. Target proteins selected in this study were neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII), 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (CP4 EPSPS), cucumber mosaic virus(CMV), and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT). Analytical method employing western blotting was used for final characterization.
