MON 89034 × MON 88017 × DAS-40278-9

GM event

MON 89034 × MON 88017 × DAS-40278-9

Unique identifier code

MON-89Ø34-3 × MON-88Ø17-3 × DAS-4Ø278-9

Characteristics

The genetically modified maize MON-89Ø34-3 expresses the cry1A.105 and cry2Ab2 genes, which confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests.
The genetically modified maize MON-88Ø17-3 expresses a modified cry3Bb1 gene, which provides protection to certain coleopteran pests and the cp4 epsps gene, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.
The genetically modified maize DAS-4Ø278-9 expresses the aad-1 gene, which confers tolerance to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) herbicides.

Detection method

The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods are those individually validated for genetically modified maize events MON-89Ø34-3, DAS-Ø15Ø7-1, MON-88Ø17-3, DAS-59122-7 and DAS-4Ø278-9 and further verified on maize stack MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 88017 × 59122 × DAS-40278-9.
Validated by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdossiers.aspx.
