Insect resistant, herbicide tolerant maize
EN
Bt11 x 5307
Yes
SYN-BTØ11-1 × SYN-Ø53Ø7-1
A stacked insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant maize derived from conventional cross-breeding of Bt11 x 5307.  Insect resistance is conferred by the cry1A(b) and eCry3.1Ab genes, and glufosinate herbicide tolerance through the pat gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes.

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 Bt 11 vector pZO1502
Contributed the cry1Ab gene to confer resistance to the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis), and the phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) encoding gene  to confer tolerance to phosphinothricin (PPT) herbicide, specifically glufosinate ammonium.

DNA insert from 5307 vector pSYN12274
Event 5307 corn plants contain the transgene ecry3.1Ab encoding a novel rootworm-control protein, eCry3.1Ab, and the transgene pmi encoding the enzyme phosphomannose isomerase (PMI).
