Detection of Genetic Modification 'ac2' in Potato Foodstuffs
Original language description
The purpose of the study was to develop a PCR method for the detection of 'ac2' genetically modified potatoes in various foodstuffs. The genetic modification 'ac2' is based on the insertion and expression of ac2 gene, originally found in seeds of amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus), in the genome of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). Twenty different potato-based products from the grocery stores in the Czech Republic were examined; none of them was positive for the genetic modification 'ac2'. The European Union legislation requires labelling of products made of or containing more than 0.9 % of genetically modified organisms. The GM 'ac2' is not allowed within the European Union. However, it is suitable not to have only systems for the detection of the approved GMOs, but also for modifications which are currently not approved, but potentially can occur.
