Risk assessment details
  • BCH-LMO-SCBD-104808-2
    DAS-68416-4 - Enlist™ Soybeans
    | Dow AgroSciences GmbH | Resistance to herbicides (Glufosinate), Tolerance to 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
Methodology and points to consider
The environmental security of the event was analyzed in studies carried out in Brazil, in the United States and Canada that demonstrated that soy DAS-68416-4 does not differ from soybeans In agronomic, morphological and reproductive characteristics, as well as Equivalent in chemical and nutritional composition with the exception of the characteristics of Tolerance to glufosinate ammonium herbicides by expression of the pat gene and the Herbicides based on 2,4-D by the presence of the aad-12 gene. The plant phenotype The genes described is similar to the phenotype of the original plant in Refers to the reproductive organs, the duration of the plant's development period, its Method of propagation. In addition, the soybean containing said transformation event, Like conventional soybeans, does not tend to proliferate as weeds And is not an invasive species in natural ecosystems.

Studies in Brazil, the United States and Canada have shown that DAS-
68416-4 does not differ from conventional soybean in agronomic, morphological,
Reproduction, demonstrating their equivalence in chemical and nutritional composition (with
Except for herbicide tolerance characteristics based on glufosinate ammonium
By expression of the pat gene and 2,4-D-based herbicides by the presence of the aad-12 gene.
EN
No adverse effects caused by soybean cultivation DAS-68416-4 were found Relevant indicator organisms when compared to conventional soy based on Studies conducted in Brazil, the United States and Canada.
EN
The phenotype of the transformed plants containing the aad-12 and pat genes is similar to the
Reproductive organs, the duration of the
Development of the plant, to its method of propagation. In addition, soybeans containing
Aad-12 and pat genes, like conventional soybeans, do not show a tendency to proliferate
A weed, and is not an invasive species in natural ecosystems.

As established in art. 1 of Law No. 11,460, of March 21, 2007, "are prohibited the research and cultivation of GMOs in indigenous lands and areas of conservation units,
Except in the Environmental Protection Areas

With regard to the environment, it was concluded that soybean DAS-68416-4 is not potentially
Significant degradation of the environment or damage to human health and
