Trait: The stacked hybrid GA21 X MON810 expresses two novel proteins, which confer tolerance to herbicides with glyphosate as active ingredient (Roundup) and resistance to the European Corn Borer.
Inserted gene:
m epsps- gene
source: modified sequence of a gene from wild maize
function: the m cp4 epsps gene encodes for a version of EPSPS that is highly tolerant to inhibition by glyphosate.
