Insect resistant cotton plants and methods for identifying same
The invention provides specific transgenic cotton plants, plant material and seeds, characterized in that these products harbor a specific transformation event at a specific location in the cotton genome. Tools are also provided which allow rapid and unequivocal identification of the event in biological samples.
1. Cotton genomic DNA comprising elite event EE-GH5.
2. Cotton genomic DNA comprising elite event EE-GH5 in its genome, reference seed comprising elite event EE-GH5 having being deposited at the ATCC under deposit number PTA-8171.
3. The cotton genomic DNA according to claim 1 , comprising (i) a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID No. 1 from nucleotide 88 to nucleotide 109 or SEQ ID No. 2 from nucleotide 30 to nucleotide 50, or the complement of said sequences; or (ii) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 12.
4. The cotton genomic DNA according to claim 1 , comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID No. 1 from nucleotide 78 to nucleotide 119 or SEQ ID No. 2 from nucleotide 20 to nucleotide 60, or the complement of said sequences.
5. The cotton genomic DNA according to claim 1 , comprising a nucleotide sequence having the sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 and of SEQ ID No. 2 and of SEQ ID No. 12, or the complement of said sequences.
