Testbiotech comment on EFSA’s assessment of genetically engineered oilseed rape MON 94100 (application EFSA-GMO-NL-2020-169) from Bayer

TESTBIOTECH Background 25 - 08 - 2022

The EFSA GMO panel assessed the oilseed rape MON 94100 which was developed to confer tolerance to dicamba herbicide. Oilseed rape MON 94100 expresses two variants of the DMO protein: DMO and DMO + 27. The DMO protein demethylates dicamba, producing 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid and formaldehyde, conferring tolerance to dicamba-based herbicides. The inserted gene construct involves genetic information from two viruses, two plants (from other species) and from bacteria.
