Patent ID: 7645579

Claim:
A transgenic glyphosate resistant sugar beet comprising a transgenic insert of DNA having a 5′ end and 3′ end, the insert of DNA comprising a figwort mosaic virus 35s promoter, DNA encoding a chloroplast transit peptide from the EPSPS gene of Arabidopsis , an optimized CP4 EPSPS gene from Agrobaclerium sp. strain CP4, and a terminator, wherein said insert of DNA is detectable by a pair of primers, selected from the group consisting of: the pair of primers identified as 98G94 consisting of nucleotides 1-20 of SEQ ID NO: 15 and 98K86 consisting of nucleotides 730-753 of SEQ ID NO: 10; and the pair of primers identified as 98I50 consisting of nucleotides 455-476 of SEQ ID NO: 14 and 98K89 consisting of nucleotides 155-180 of SEQ ID NO: 4.
