Comparative biochemical analysis of biotech cotton variety Porloq-4

Currently, the number of biotech plant varieties used in agriculture is increasing, which raises its efficiency. However, according to international requirements related to the development and application of biotechnology in science and production, the safety of the release of biotechnological varieties is considered. One of the key parameters for assessing the safety of genetically modified varieties is the assessment of significant equivalence, i.e. comparative biochemical assessment of genetically modified organisms (GMO). In this regard, the article provides information about the comparative assessment of key biochemical parameters for the Porloq-4 cotton variety, created by RNA interference of the phytochrome A1 gene. The research results have shown that the biotech cotton variety Porloq-4 is an equivalent analogue in terms of essential characteristics.
