Stacking traits

The situation is actually even more complex since some breeding lines contain more than one copy of the transgenic sequence or have stacked genes (i.e., more than one transgenic sequence is present—both would lead to an overestimation of the transgenic content) and the number of stacked traits is steadily increasing ...

Now, are you ready to find out what handwriting traits are found in rich and happy people Are you ready to see how well you already stack up the world s great minds Grab your pen and paper and turn to the next section ... 

In a sales career, this trait is very detrimental to success. If you can t make cold calls because you re afraid they might say "no", you have a big hurdle to overcome. If you give me a stack of salesmen s handwriting, the one writing with self-consciousness is invariably the sales manager. Why Because he has chosen to train... 

In 2005, GM crops were cultivated in 21 countries with 71% of those acres being accounted for by herbicide resistant traits in soybean, corn, canola, and cotton. This percentage increases to 82% if one includes herbicide resistance trait acres that are stacked with other biotechnology traits. Globally, GM herbicide resistant soybean, cotton, canola, and corn were grown on 134.4 (60%), 12.1 (14%), 11.4 (18%), and 24.5 (7%) million acres, respectively. (Fig. 6.1.1) [1]. 

There are three commercially available herbicide resistant traits in cotton glyphosate resistance (Roundup Ready , RR), glufosinate resistance (Liberty Link , LL), and bromoxynil resistance (BXN ). In 2005, herbicide resistance traits were cultivated on over 80% of approximately 14 million total cotton acres in the United States (Fig. 6.1.3) [6]. This acreage represents a combination of herbicide resistance alone or stacked with other traits such as insect control traits. 

With the recent increases of commercialisation of plant products having one or more traits obtained through the use of recombinant DNA techniques and stacked by conventional crosses in the backdrop, it was proposed to standardise the way to designate a unique identifier for such plant products. Up to that time, this guidance document had allowed two different options for such product in item 8.
