MZIR098 plants were modified to contain genes expressing ecry3.1Ab, mcry3A, and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase. These modification are intended to protect against certain coleopteran pests including western corn rootworm. Expression of the PAT gene, confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides and is used as a selection marker.

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.

Molecular characterization of MZIR098 was carried out using nucleotide sequencing and Southern blot analyses. These analyses indicated that a single copy of the T-DNA was inserted in to the genome of the recipient organism and that and it does not contain the plasmid backbone sequence from transformation plasmid pSYN17629. Sequence analysis of the MZIR098 insertion site demonstrated that 24-bp from the corn genomic sequence was deleted during the integration of the MZIR098 insert.
