MON-88Ø17-3 × DAS-59122-7
The stacked maize line MON-88Ø17-3 x DAS-59122-7 was obtained through the traditional cross breading of each of the parental organisms to produce a maize that expresses each of EPSPS, Cry3Bb1, PAT, Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1 genes. The expression of these genes are expected to confer resistance to Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, and tolerance to glufosinate herbicide.

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.

DNA insert from 59122 vector PHP17662
The cry34Ab1 and cry35Ab1 genes, isolated from the common soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strain PS149B1, produce the insect control proteins (delta-endotoxins) Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1. The pat gene was isolated from the soil bacterium Streptomyces viridochromogenes and confers tolerance to herbicides containing glufosinate ammonium.

DNA insert from MON88017 vector PV-ZMIR39
MON88017 expresses the cry3Bb1 gene encoding a Coleopteran-specific insecticidal protein to control infestation with corn root worm, and the cp4 epsps gene.
