Division C Information required about the method development and the method optimisation:

primer pairs tested (in the case of a PCR-based test): justification shall be given of how and why the proposed primer pair has been selected;

stability testing: experimental results from testing the method with different varieties shall be provided;

specificity: the applicant shall submit the full sequence of the insert(s), together with the base pairs of the host flanking sequences needed to establish an event-specific detection method. The F1RL shall enter these data in a molecular database. By running homology searches, the RL will thus be in a position to assess the specificity of the proposed method.
