TESTBIOTECH Background 26 - 05 - 2024
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
TESTBIOTECH Background 02 - 09 - 2024
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
