BRINJAL (Solanum melongena) EVENT EE-6726, KIT AND METHOD OF DETECTION OF EVENT EE-6726

Abstract

The invention provides brinjal event EE-6726, and plants, plant cells, seeds and plant parts comprising event EE-6726 which confers resistance to Lepidopteran insect damage. The invention also provides nucleic acid sequences specific for event EE-6726 and plants, plant cells, seeds and plant parts comprising nucleic acids specific for event EE-6726. This invention also provides methods for detection the presence of the event EE-6726 based on DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the brinjal genome that resulted in the EE-6726 event and / or the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site.
