  1. GM events: Name of the GM events and its mass/mass content into the tested reference material (in brackets). Reference material: Catalogue reference of the reference material. Sigma-A. = Sigma-Aldrich. Positive and negative screening results are indicated by + and -, respectively. Late signals, with Cq > 37 are indicated by the plus sign between brackets, (+). Unexpected positive and negative results are indicated by U+ and U-, respectively; false positive results due to GM impurities in the reference material (confirmed by event-specific tests) are indicated by R+. BS = bad signal and amplification curves; N = not tested. Late signals and bad amplification curves are presumed to be due to differences of sequences affecting the efficiency of the PCR and the hybridization of the primers and probes. The positive signal for MON89034 maize with cry1Ab primers and probe, indicated by a bold +, is due to the presence of cry1A105 having a sequence similar to the targeted region.
  2. DNA was extracted with the CTAB method following the recommendations of the ISO21571 standard [58] and tested with qPCR using TaqMan probes. Targets used for this verification test included pUbi, pNOS, tE9, pFMV, pRice pActin, pSsuAra, pTA29, t35S, tOCS, tg7 [53], cry1Ab, bar, EPSPS-1, gox (Debode, unpublished), EPSPS-2 [54], CTP2-cp4epsps [57], pat [54], the junction p35S-bar [55], the junction p35S-pat [56], the junction p35S-hsp70 [51], an additional bar sequence [57], three different sequences of p35S [50, 52, 59], and two sequences of tNOS [39, 52]. Contaminations were checked with the available ring-trial validated event-specific methods [60].
