Description

The stacked maize line was obtained through the traditional cross breeding of the parental organisms MON89034 and MON88017. The line inherited genes that express cry1A.105, cry2Ab2, cp4epsps and cry3Bb1. The expression of these genes confer glyphosate herbicide tolerance and resistance to Lepidoptera and Coleoptera.

Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms

The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

Further details

Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO

DNA insert from MON89034 vector PV-ZMIR245
Maize line MON89034 expresses two Bt-toxins encoded by the genes cry1A.105 and cry2Ab2 from Bacillus thuringiensis that confer resistance against certain lepidopteran pests.

DNA insert from MON88017 vector PV-ZMIR39
MON88017 expresses the cry3Bb1 gene encoding a Coleopteran-specific insecticidal protein to control infestation with corn root worm, and the cp4 epsps gene.

For additional information on this LMO, please refer to the records of the parental LMOs.
