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

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.

The GMO Panel assessed the five-event stacked maize MON 89034 x 1507 x MIR162 x NK603 x DAS-40278-9, which is derived from crossing four genetically engineered maize events (EFSA, 2022a). The maize contains genes conferring resistance to four herbicides and produces six insecticidal proteins:• MON 89034 expressing Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2 insecticidal proteins;• 1507 expressing the weiterlesen

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 weiterlesen
