Clearfield 131 carrying commonly approved LL protein

While it won't solve any problems this year for rice growers who've lost Clearfield 131 from their planting choices, USDA announced yesterday that analysis indicates that the regulated genetic material found at minute levels in CL 131 is LLRICE604.

The positive point is that the protein contained in LLRICE604 has a long history of safe use and is present in many deregulated products.

LLRICE604 was developed by Bayer Cropscience for herbicide tolerance as part of the LLRICE600 series.
