Testbiotech comment on EFSA assessment of genetically engineered maize DP4114 x MON810 x MIR604 x NK603 and subcombinations, for food and feed uses, under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (application EFSA-GMO-NL-2018-150) from Pioneer

TESTBIOTECH Background 07 - 04 - 2022

The EFSA GMO panel assessed the stacked maize DP4114 x MON810 x MIR604 x NK603 derived from crossing three genetically engineered maize events (EFSA, 2022a). The parental plants were assessed by EFSA in previous opinions. The maize contains genes conferring resistance to two herbicides: glufosinate and glyphosate, and produces five insecticidal cry proteins: • DP4114 weiterlesen

Testbiotech comment on EFSA’s assessment of genetically engineered maize NK603 x T25 x DAS-40278-9 and subcombinations, for food and feed uses, under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (application EFSA-GMO-NL-2019-164) from Pioneer

TESTBIOTECH Background 17 - 01 - 2022

The EFSA GMO panel assessed the stacked maize NK603xT25xDAS-40278-9, which is derived from crossing three genetically engineered maize events (EFSA, 2021a). The parental plants were assessed by EFSA in previous opinions. The maize contains genes conferring resistance to three herbicides: glufosinate, glyphosate, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) herbicides:• NK603 expressing two variants of CP4 weiterlesen
