Trait: Insect resistant and herbicide tolerant maize hybrid derived from conventional cross-breeding of the parental lines 59122 and NK603. The hybrid produces two Bt-toxins (Cry34Ab1, Cry35Ab1) conferring resistance to the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and to herbicide Roundup (with the active ingredient glyphosate)
Source: Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kumamotoensis
Function: The toxin protects the plant from the Coleopteran insects western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera), northern corn rootworm (D. barberi), and Mexican corn rootworm (D. virgifera zeae).
Source: Soil bacterium Agrobacterium ssp. strain CP4
Function: The CP4 EPSPS gene encodes for a version of EPSPS that is highly tolerant to inhibition by glyphosate.
