TESTBIOTECH Background 26 - 2 -2026
The GMO Panel assessed the stacked soybean event GMB151 × DAS-44406-6 (EFSA, 2026a). The parental plants combined in the stacked event are: GMB151 expressing DAS-44406-6 expressing In its opinion, EFSA comes to the conclusion that “the two-event stack soybean is as safe as its comparator and the tested non-GM reference varieties with respect to potential effects weiterlesen
TESTBIOTECH Background 22 - 2 -2026
Soybean MON 94313 was developed to provide protection against dicamba, glufosinate, 2,4-D and mesotrione-based herbicides. It expresses the dmo, pat, ft_t.1 and tdo genes. In its opinion, EFSA comes to the conclusion that “MON 94313 is as safe as its conventional counterpart and the tested non-GM soybean varieties with respect to potential effects on human weiterlesen

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.
TESTBIOTECH Background 19 - 09 - 2024
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

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 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
