The maize (Zea mays) was modified for resistance to Lepidoptera insects and to overcome Bt-resistance in insect pests. The maize expresses synthetic Cry1B.868 and Cry1Da_7 proteins (originally derived from Bacillus thuringiensis), which have a pore-forming mode of action that is independent of the receptors that other Bt toxins interact with. A selectable marker cassette (glyphosate tolerance) was removed using Cre-lox excision during the development of this line to result in a marker-free line.
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.

The modified maize contains two gene cassettes: synthetic cry1B.868 and synthetic cry1Da_7.
The cry1B.868 coding sequence is under control of a Zea mays ubiquitin promoter and an Oryza sativa lipid transfer-like protein terminator. The promoter contains the promoter, leader and intron sequences from the maize ubiquitin gene. High levels of transcription are expected in all tissues due to the constitutive nature of the promoter.
The cry1Da_7 coding sequence is under control of a Setaria italica promoter and an O. sativa gos2 terminator. The first intron of the rice actin 15 gene was also included and likely improves expression of the gene.
Note:

Note:
- Both cry1B.868 and cry1Da_7 sequences are derived from Bacillus thuringiensis sequences. Refer to the genetic element records for more information.
- During development of the modified maize, a c4-epsps cassette (rice tubulin A terminator; cp4-epsps; Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast transit peptide 2; and rice tubulin A promoter) was removed using Cre-lox excision. The T-DNA right border was also truncated (lost) during transformation.
- Next-generation sequencing indicated that a single, intact copy of the the intended DNA insertion was present in the parental genome. No backbone or other unexpected sequences were detected.
