DAS-4Ø278-9
DAS-40278-9 corn was modified with the insertion of a plant optimised coding sequence for aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase to confer tolerance to the herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors.

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.

  • Direct DNA transfer
Some of these genetic elements may be present as fragments or truncated forms. Please see notes below, where applicable.
  • BCH-GENE-SCBD-104795-4 RB7 matrix attachment region | Nicotiana tabacum (Tobacco, TOBAC )
    Enhancer
  • BCH-GENE-SCBD-100362-7 Ubiquitin gene promoter | Zea mays (Maize, Corn, MAIZE)
    Promoter
  • BCH-GENE-SCBD-104812-3 Aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase gene | Sphingobium herbicidovorans (SPHHE)
    Protein coding sequence | Resistance to herbicides,Tolerance to 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid,Tolerance to aryloxyphenoxypropionate
  • BCH-GENE-SCBD-104813-4 Per5 3' Untranslated Region | Zea mays (Maize, Corn, MAIZE)
    Terminator
The LMO was generated using the Whiskers mediated transformation method. The aad-1 coding sequence was modified for plant-optimized expression.

Southern blot analysis indicated that a single complete copy of the transformation cassette was stably integrated into the host genome at a single locus. Additionally tests showed that there was no integration of segments from the vector backbone.
