Event Name: MON 94637
Event Code : MON 94637
Trade Name: N/A
Crop: Glycine max L. - Soybean
Developer: Bayer CropScience (including fully and partly owned companies)
Method of Trait Introduction: Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation
GM Trait: Lepidopteran insect resistance
Commercial Trait: (Singular) Insect Resistance (IR)
Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| cry1A.2 | Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) | Cry1A.2 protein | contains domain I of Cry1Ah, domain II of Cry1Ac, domain III of Cry1Ca and protoxin domain of Cry1Ac. Specific domain recombination can produce higher insecticidal activity against some key lepidopteran pests and reduce the probability of resistant insect populations. |
| cry1B.2 | Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) | Cry1B.2 protein | contains domain I and domain II of Cry1Be2, domain III of Cry1Ka, and the protoxin domain of Cry1Ab3. Specific domain recombination can produce higher insecticidal activity against some key lepidopteran pests and reduce the probability of resistant insect populations. |

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.
