The GMO Panel assessed maize DP51291 (EFSA, 2024a). The maize produces Consequently, the maize is resistant to glufosinate herbicides and toxic to corn rootworm. The genetic intervention involved a multistep process to introduce a ‘landing pad’ at the target site, where the gene constructs for the production of new proteins (new traits) are subsequently inserted.

The GMO Panel assessed maize MON 95275 (EFSA, 2024a). The maize expresses two insecticidal proteins Mpp75Aa1 and Vpb4Da2 as well as a DvSnf7 dsRNA, all of which are active against corn rootworm. EFSA assessed Mpp75Aa1 and Vpb4Da2 for the first time; DvSnf7 dsRNA is very similar to the sequence expressed in the genetically engineered maize weiterlesen

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 weiterlesen

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
