MIR162 × 1507 × GA21

GM event

MIR162 × 1507 × GA21

Unique identifier code

SYN-IR162-4 × DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 × MON-ØØØ21-9

Characteristics

The genetically modified SYN-IR162-4 maize expresses the Vip3Aa20 protein, which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, and the PMI protein, which was used as a selectable marker.
The genetically modified DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 maize expresses the Cry1F protein, which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, and the PAT protein, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides.
The genetically modified MON-ØØØ21-9 maize expresses the mEPSPS protein, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.

Detection method

The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods for maize Bt11 × MIR162 × 1507 × GA21 are those validated for genetically modified maize events SYN-BTØ11-1, SYN-IR162-4, DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 and MON-ØØØ21-9.
Validated by the EU reference laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/StatusOfDossiers.aspx
