Quantification of Genetically Modified Soybeans in Food with the LightCycler System

  • Chapter
Book cover Rapid Cycle Real-Time PCR

Abstract

Worldwide, the use of genetically modified plants is increasingly important. The European Community (EC) has already approved herbicide tolerant soybeans (Roundup Ready Soybeans, RRS, Monsanto) and insect tolerant corn (Bt-corn, Novartis), and further approvals of genetically modified plants for food production (tomatoes, radicchio, rapeseed, soybeans and corn) are pending.
