MON 87427 × MON 87460 × MON 89034 × 1507

Unique identifier code

MON-87427-7 × MON-8746Ø-4 × MON-89Ø34-3 × DAS-Ø15Ø7-1

Characteristics

The genetically modified maize MON-87427-7 expresses the cp4 epsps gene, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides.
The genetically modified maize MON-8746Ø-4 expresses a Bacillus subtilis modified cspB gene, which aims to reduce yield loss caused by drought stress. In addition, the nptII gene, conferring kanamycin and neomycin resistance, was used as a selection marker in the genetic modification process.
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 DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 expresses the cry1F gene, which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests and the pat gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides.
