Glyphosate tolerant maize

VCO-Ø19Ø2-7
Yes
VCO-Ø19Ø2-7
Introduction of a tolerance to the glyphosate herbicide in maize plants by expression of a mutated form of a bacterial 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthetase (EPSPS) protein insensitive to the herbicide. This herbicide acts as an inhibitor of this enzyme in plants. The EPSPS enzyme is involved in the biosynthetic pathway of the aromatic amino-acids (tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine).

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.

  • Agrobacterium-mediated DNA transfer
Some of these genetic elements may be present as fragments or truncated forms. Please see notes below, where applicable.
Notes on the inserted genetic elements:
Ubiquitin promoter specifically obtained from Saccharum officinarum

The mutagenesis of the original sequence of epsps gene from Arthobacter has been performed using the Mutazyme II system. Several mutations have been randomly performed, and modified epsps sequences have been inserted into E. coli. Subsequently, the activity of mutated genes has been tested by in vitro test based on enzymatic activity and thermal stability. The best sequence has been chosen to be used for the maize transformation.
