Developer:
Monsanto Company (including fully and partly owned companies)

Method of Trait Introduction:
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation

GM Trait s :
Glyphosate herbicide tolerance , Coleopteran insect resistance

Commercial Trait:
(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance + Insect Resistance

Summary of 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.
