Event Name: MON 87427 x MON 94804 x NK603
Event Code : MON-87427-7 x MON-948Ø4-4 x MON-ØØ6Ø3-6
Trade Name: N/A
Crop: Zea mays L. - Maize, Corn
Developer: Monsanto Company (including fully and partly owned companies)
Method of Trait Introduction: Conventional breeding - cross hybridization and selection involving transgenic donor(s)
GM Traits: Glyphosate herbicide tolerance , Short stature
Commercial Trait: (Stacked) Herbicide Tolerance (HT) + Altered Growth/Yield (AGY)
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 |
| GA20ox_SUP | Zea mays (maize) | gibberellic acid/gibbrellin 20 oxidase 3 and 5 proteins | reduction of gibberellic acid/gibberellin (GA) levels predominantly in the stalk, leading to a reduction of internode length and consequently reduced overall plant height compared to conventional maize comparator |

Regulatory and Biosafety Information
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.
