NK603 x T25
Yes
MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2
The stacked maize line NK603 x T25 was produced by cross breeding between maize LMOs T25 and NK603 for tolerance to herbicides containing glufosinate and glyphosate.
EN
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.

    Plasmid Vector
DNA insert from NK603 vector PV-ZMGT32:

NK603 contains a form of the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) that allows the plant to survive the otherwise lethal application of glyphosate.

DNA insert from T25 vector pDH51:

Glufosinate tolerance in T25 maize is the result of introducing a gene encoding the enzyme phosphinothricin-N-acetyltransferase (PAT) isolated from the common aerobic soil actinomycete, Streptomyces viridochromogenes

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

Detection method(s)
NK603 x T25 was produced through cross breeding and contains the inserted genetic elements from both parents.

From the NK603 parent, NK603 x T25 contains one copy of a DNA cassette containing two cp4 epsps genes (see below). From the T25 parent, NK603 x T25 contains one copy of the DNA cassette with an intact Ori-pUC and the "P-35S - pat - T-35S" construct as well as a truncated bla gene (25% of the 5' end of the bla gene is missing).
