Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The molecular characterisation of COT102 cotton confirmed a single transgenic insert
- Observation Genetic stability and phenotypic stability of the transgenic insert were confirmed
- Observation Transgenic protein expression levels did not cause safety concerns
- Observation The comparative assessment of COT102 cotton was deemed appropriate and raised no safety concerns
- Observation Vip3Aa19 and APH4 proteins as expressed in COT102 cotton raised no safety concerns regarding toxicity or allergenicity
- Observation No evidence was found that the genetic modification would change the overall allergenicity of COT102 cotton
