Assessment of genetically modified maize MON94804 (application GMFF-2022-10651, AP 182) by Bayer
Introduction The GMO Panel assessed maize MON94804 (EFSA, 2024a). This maize is genetically engineered to produce an artificial miRNA intended to selectively suppress two genes within a larger gene family involved in the biosynthetic pathway of gibberellic acid (GA). The development of the artificial GA20ox_SUP miRNA started initially with miR1425 from rice; mature miRNA was…

Assessment of genetically engineered maize DP910521 for food and feed uses, by Corteva Agriscience
The GMO Panel assessed the herbicide tolerant maize, DP910521, which produces an insecticide and the selectable PMI marker gene (EFSA, 2024a). This event was developed to confer resistance to glufosinate and produce the Cry1B.34 toxin, which is a synthetic fusion of three different Cry-proteins originally derived from soil bacteria. The toxin is meant to be…
