Maize 88017

Trait: Corn rootworm-resistant maize produced by inserting the gene encoding Bt-toxin (cry3Bb1) and conferring tolerance to the herbicide Roundup (with the active ingredient glyphosate)
Inserted genes:
cry3Bb1-genes	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).
cp4 epsps- gene	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.
Methods for the genetic modification: Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer.
