GMO Laboratory

This laboratory has been studying Genetically Modified Organisms such as corn, soy bean and microorganisms on molecular level. 

Our parameters for the detection of Genetically Modified Organisms (plant parts, seeds, fruits etc.), proceed, non proceed foods and feed materials are GMO screening, GMO identification (e.g. to exclude non-approved GMOs) and GMO quantification (e.g. to check for labelling requirements). Qualitative and quantitative methods with different levels of specificity (e.g. genetic element-, construct-, or event-specific) are applied by using conventional and real-time PCR. Genome of Genetically Modified Plants and plant products are also used for detection effects of genetic modifications on genomics level. In concept of biosafety, transformation frequency is being determined on microorganisms models for horizontally gene transfer studies.
