Abstract
This invention relates to transgenic Brassica plants, plant material and seeds, characterized by harboring a specific transformation event, particularly by the presence of a male-sterility gene, at a specific location in the Brassica genome. The invention also relates to the seed deposited a the ATCC which will grow into a male sterile, herbicide resistant plant. The invention further provides a process producing a transgenic cell of a Brassica plant and a method of identifying a transgenic plant, or cells or tissues thereof. A kit for identifying the transgenic plants comprising the elite event of the prsent invention is also described. The Brassica plants of the invention combine the male-sterility phenotype with optimal agronomic performance, genetic stability and adaptability to different genetic backgrounds.
