MIR162 × MON 810 × NK603

GM event

MIR162 × MON 810 × NK603

Unique identifier code

SYN-IR162-4 × MON-ØØ81Ø-6 × MON-ØØ6Ø3-6

Characteristics

The genetically modified maize SYN-IR162-4 expresses a modified vip3Aa20 gene, which provides protection against certain lepidopteran pests. In addition, the pmi gene, coding for the PMI protein, was used as a selection marker in the genetic modification process.
The genetically modified maize MON-ØØ81Ø-6 expresses the cry1Ab gene, which confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests.
The genetically modified maize MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 expresses the CP4 epsps and the CP4 epsps L214P genes, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.
