MIR162 × MON 87411

GM event

MIR162 × MON 87411

Unique identifier code

SYN-IR162-4 × MON-87411-9

Characteristics

This genetically modified maize was developed by combining a set of four single maize events (MON-84727-7 × MON-89Ø34-3 × SYN-IR162-4 × MON-87411-9) by conventional crossing into combinations that may express: CP4 EPSPS protein, Cry1A.105 protein, Cry2Ab2 protein, Vip3Aa20 protein, PMI protein, Cry3Bb1 protein, CP4EPSPS protein, and the DvSnf7 dsRNA; to confer resistance to certain lepidopteran and coleopteran pests and tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides.
