Development of a multiplex polymerase chain reaction method for simultaneous detection of eight events of genetically modified maize.

In this study, we developed a novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for simultaneous detection of up to eight events of genetically modified (GM) maize within a single reaction. The eight detection primer pairs designed to be construct specific for eight respective GM events (i.e.

Accumulation of high levels of free amino acids in soybean seeds through integration of mutations conferring seed protein deficiency.

Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seeds are rich in protein, most of which is contributed by the major storage proteins glycinin (11S globulin) and beta-conglycinin (7S globulin).
