Event Name: MON87411
Event Code : MON-87411-9
Trade Name: not available
Crop: Zea mays L. - Maize, Corn
Developer: Monsanto Company (including fully and partly owned companies)
Method of Trait Introduction: Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation
GM Traits: Glyphosate herbicide tolerance , Coleopteran insect resistance
Commercial Trait: (Stacked) Herbicide Tolerance (HT) + Insect Resistance (IR)
Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| cry3Bb1 | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis | Cry3Bb1 delta endotoxin | confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| cp4 epsps (aroA:CP4) | Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4 | herbicide tolerant form of 5-enolpyruvulshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme | decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby conferring increased tolerance to glyphosate herbicide |
| dvsnf7 | Western Corn Rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) | double-stranded RNA transcript containing a 240 bp fragment of the WCR Snf7 gene | RNAi interference resulting to down-regulation of the function of the targeted Snf7 gene leading to Western Corn Rootworm mortality. |

The GM Approval Database, or GMAD, is one of ISAAA’s unique features that compiles all the available information about biotech/GM crops that have been approved for planting and importation for food and feed, and commercialization. ISAAA sources out the information from publicly available decision documents per country, Biosafety Clearing Houses and peer-reviewed scholarly articles to maintain the credibility of the database. Your contribution can help expand and maintain the GMAD and make useful information more available to researchers, students, and the general public. You can help by donating as little as $10.
