Maize (Zea mays) was modified for resistance to lepidoptera, including European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis), and coleoptera insect pests including corn rootworm pests, such as the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera), and tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicide. To achieve resistance to lepidopteran insects, the maize expresses the cryIF gene from Bacillus thuringiensis. To achieve resistance to coleopteran insects, the maize expresses the cry34Ab1 and cry35Ab1 genes from Bacillus thuringiensis. The cry genes have a pore forming mode-of-action in the epithelial lining of feeding larvae; they produce a crystal delta-endotoxin that binds to specific midgut receptors in the insect larva, forming pores that disrupt osmotic balance and cause fatal cell lysis. To achieve glufosinate tolerance, the maize expresses the gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes encoding phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase, which inactivates the active compound L-phosphinothricin through acetylation of the primary amino group.
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.

Information on the inserted DNA sequences
The transforming plasmid for maize DP-ØØ4114-3 contained a transfer DNA region comprising four gene cassettes: three expressing insecticidal proteins, cryIF, cry34Ab1 and cry35Ab1 genes from Bacillus thuringiensis, and one cassette used for positive transformant selection expressing the herbicide tolerance protein phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT).
(1) The cryIF gene is regulated by the ubiquitin gene promoter from Zea mays and the ORF25 polyA terminator sequence from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. An intron from Zea mays (intron 1) was included to enhance expression of the cryIF sequence from Bacillus thuringiensis. High levels of transcription are expected due to the strong constitutive promoter accompanied by intron-mediated enhancement.
(2) The cry34Ab1 gene is regulated by the ubiquitin gene promoter from Z. mays and the proteinase inhibitor II terminator from Solanum tuberosum. The intron 1 from Z. mays was included to enhance expression of the cry34Ab1 sequence from B. thuringiensis. High levels of transcription are expected due to the strong constitutive promoter accompanied by intron-mediated enhancement.
(3) The cry35Ab1 gene is regulated peroxidase gene promoter from Triticum aestivum by the ubiquitin gene promoter from Z. mays and the proteinase inhibitor II terminator from Solanum tuberosum. An intron from Z. mays was included to enhance expression of the cry35Ab1 sequence from B. thuringiensis. High levels of transcription are expected due to the strong constitutive promoter.
(4) The pat is used as a selectable marker for transformants, and the gene is regulated by the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and terminator.

Note
- The polyubiquitin gene promoter element is made up of the promoter region (900bp) and the 5’ untranslated region of the polyubiquitin gene (83 bp).
- Southern blot analyses indicated that a single, intact transformation cassette was inserted into the genome of 4114 maize with no integration of the backbone of plasmid PHP27118.
