Characteristics: MON88302 oilseed rape expresses the CP4 EPSPS protein, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.
Rf3 oilseed rape expresses the barstar protein and PAT protein, which confers tolerance to glufosinate ammonium-based herbicides.
The expression of barnase and barstar proteins from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens constitutes the basis of a male fertility control system, through the use of the barnase gene, which removes male fertility in order to promote hybridisation, and the barstar gene which restores male fertility with oilseed rape lines Ms8 and Rf3 for obtaining heterosis (hybrid vigour).

Detection method: Event specific real-time quantitative PCR based methods for MON88302, Ms8 and Rf3 oilseed rapes; the detection methods are validated on the single events and verified on genomic DNA extracted from seeds of MON88302 x Ms8 x Rf3 oilseed rape.
