Trait:
The hybrid MON89034xNK603 expresses two
novel insecticidal proteins: The Bt-toxins
cry1A.105 and cry2Ab2 which confers resistance to the lepidopterans and conferring tolerance to the
herbicideRoundup (with the active ingredient glyphosate).
Inserted genes (MON89034):
cry1A.105 and cry2Ab2
Source: Bacillus thuringiensis
Function: The toxins protects the plant from the
Lepidopteran insects, fall armyworm (Spodoptera sp.), black cutworm (Agrotis
ipsilon), european corn borer(Ostrinia nubilalis) and the corn
