History
First approved commercially in the United States during 1994, GTS 40-3-2 was subsequently introduced to Canada in 1995, Japan and Argentina in 1996, Uruguay in 1997, Mexico and Brazil in 1998, and South Africa in 2001.[1]
Modified mechanisms
GTS 40-3-2 is genetically altered to express a modified version of the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase from the CP4 strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.[2]
Detection
GTS 40-3-2 can be detected using both nucleic acid and protein analysis methods.[3][4]
Derivatives
At least one of Monsanto's Vistive varieties has been crossbred with GTS 40-3-2.[1]
