Assessment of genetically modified Maize MON 87429 for food and feed uses, under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (application EFSA-GMO-NL-2019-161) by Bayer

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

Assessment of genetically modified maize MON 95379 for food and feed uses, under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (application EFSA-GMO-NL-2020-170) by Bayer

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.
