Maize SYN-ØØØ98-3 was modified for resistance against coleopteran insects, particularly western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera), northern corn rootworm (Diabrotica berberi), and Mexican corn rootworm (Diabrotica vigifera zeae). The LM maize was also modified for tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides and used as a marker selection for transformants. To achieve resistance against coleopteran pests, the maize expresses the eCry3.1Ab and mCry3A genes which have a pore forming mode-of-action in the epithelial lining of feeding larvae; eCry3.1Ab and mCry3A 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. For the selectable marker, to achieve tolerance to glufosinate, the maize expresses expresses the gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes encoding phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase, which inactivates the active compound L-phosphinothricin through acetylation of the primary amino group.

El término "organismo receptor" hace referencia a un organismo (modificado o no modificado) que fue objeto de una modificación genética, en tanto que "organismos parentales" hace referencia a los implicados en el cruzamiento o la fusión de células.

Information on the inserted DNA sequences
The transforming plasmid for maize SYN-ØØØ98-3 contained a transfer DNA (T-DNA) region comprising three gene cassettes: two expressing insecticidal proteins, mCry3A derived from Bacillus thuringiensis and eCry3.1Ab, and one used for positive transformant selection, expressing the herbicide tolerance protein phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT).

(1) The synthetic insecticidal protein eCry3.1Ab gene is regulated by the Cestrum yellow leaf curling virus promoter and the nopaline synthase terminator from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. A nopaline synthase enhancer from Agrobacterium tumefaciens was added to enhance the expression of eCry3.1Ab. Due to the presence of an enhancer and the constitutive nature of the promoter, high levels of transcription are expected.

(2) The mCry3A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis is regulated by the ubiquitin gene promoter from Zea mays and the nopaline synthase terminator from A. tumefaciens. High levels of transcription are expected due to the strong constitutive promoter.

(3) The pat gene from A. tumefaciens strain Tu494 is used as a selectable marker for transformants, and the gene is under the control of the Cauliflower mosaic virus promoter and the nopaline synthase terminator from A. tumefaciens. High levels of transcription are expected due to the strong constitutive promoter.

Note
  • The gene eCry3.1Ab is a fusion between the 5′ end of a modified Cry3A gene (mCry3A) and the 3′ end of a synthetic Cry1Ab gene.
  • Molecular characterization of MZIR098 was carried out using nucleotide sequencing and Southern blot analyses.
  • These analyses indicated that a single copy of the T-DNA was inserted in to the genome of the recipient organism and that and it does not contain the plasmid backbone sequence from transformation plasmid pSYN17629.
  • Sequence analysis of the MZIR098 insertion site demonstrated that 24-bp from the corn genomic sequence was deleted during the integration of the MZIR098 insert.
