Food Derived from Insect-protected and Glufosinate Ammonium-tolerant Dbt418 Corn

Supporting Document 1 Application A1046 – Food Derived from Herbicide- Tolerant Soybean Line Das-68416-4 Safety Assessment Report

Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd has developed a genetically modified (GM) soybean line known as DAS-68416-4 that is tolerant to two herbicides, glufosinate ammonium and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Tolerance to glufosinate ammonium is achieved through expression of the enzyme phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) encoded by the pat gene derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces...

Food Derived from Insect-protected Corn Line Mon

Composition of forage and grain from second-generation insect-protected corn MON 89034 is equivalent to that of conventional corn (Zea mays L.).

Insect-protected corn hybrids containing Cry insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis have protection from target pests and provide effective management of insect resistance. MON 89034 hybrids have been developed that produce both the Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2 proteins, which provide two independent modes of insecticidal action against the European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis )...

Impact of glyphosate-tolerant soybean and glufosinate-tolerant corn production on herbicide losses in surface runoff.

Residual herbicides used in the production of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] and corn (Zea mays L.) are often detected in surface runoff at concentrations exceeding their maximum contaminant levels (MCL) or health advisory levels (HAL). With the advent of transgenic, glyphosate-tolerant soybean and glufosinate-tolerant corn this concern might be reduced by replacing some of the residual herbic...

The Effect of High Concentrations of Glufosinate Ammonium on the Yield Components of Transgenic Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Constitutively Expressing the bar Gene

We present an experiment done on a bar(+) wheat line treated with 14 different concentrations of glufosinate ammonium-an effective component of nonselective herbicides-during seed germination in a closed experimental system. Yield components as number of spikes per plant, number of grains per spike, thousand kernel weight, and yield per plant were thoroughly analysed and statistically evaluated...
