TESTBIOTECH Background 17 - 02 - 2024
The GMO Panel assessed maize DP23211 (EFSA, 2024a). The maize produces IPD072Aa toxin from the soil bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis (against corn rootworm), which is assessed by EFSA here for the first time; DvSSJ1 dsRNA (against corn rootworm), which is assessed here by EFSA for the first time; the phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) protein for tolerance weiterlesen
TESTBIOTECH Background 18 - 12 - 2022
The GMO Panel assessed the herbicide tolerant maize MON 87429 (EFSA, 2022a). This event was developed to confer tolerance to dicamba, glufosinate, quizalofop and 2,4-D herbicides. Further, the maize expresses the CP4-EPSPS protein and utilises an endogenous maize RNAi regulatory element to suppress its expression in pollen. This results in male sterility when MON 87429 weiterlesen
TESTBIOTECH Background 15 - 12 - 2022
The GMO Panel assessed maize MON 95379 (EFSA, 2022a). The maize contains genes expressing two new insecticidal Bt proteins, Cry1B.868 andCry1Da_7.Cry1Da_7 and Cry1B.868 are modified versions of Bt toxins which do not occur in nature. Cry1Da_7 shows enhanced activity against corn earworm, Cry1B.868 was changed to make the Bt toxin more effective against fall armyworm.
