GM event

MIR162 × MIR604

Unique identifier code

SYN-IR162-4 × SYN-IR6Ø4-5

Characteristics

The genetically modified maize SYN-IR162-4 × SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing SYN-BTØ11-1, SYN-IR162-4, SYN-IR6Ø4-5 and MON-ØØØ21-9 events and can include expresses of the Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa20 proteins which confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests; Cry3A protein which confers protection against certain coleopteran pests; mEPSPS protein which confers tolerance to the glyphosate herbicide and PMI protein which was used as a selectable marker.

Detection method

Event specific real-time quantitative PCR based methods for SYN-BTØ11-1, SYN-IR162-4, SYN-IR6Ø4-5 and MON-ØØØ21-9 maizes; the detection methods are validated on the single-trait events and verified on genomic DNA extracted from seeds of SYN-BTØ11-1 × SYN-IR162-4 × SYN-IR6Ø4-5 × MON-ØØØ21-9 maize.
Validated by the European Union Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/StatusOfDossiers.aspx.
