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
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
cry3Bb1	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis	Cry3Bb1 delta endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining
