MON 802 is an Insect Resistant maize under license from Monsanto Company. [2] Corn line MON802 was developed through genetic modification to be tolerant [3] to glyphosate herbicide and protect the plant from the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) (the Bt trait). [4] MON 809 is an Insect Resistant maize under license from Monsanto. [5]
In 1995 Monsanto's potato plants producing Bt toxin were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, following approval by the FDA, making it the first pesticide-producing crop to be approved in the United States. [128] Monsanto subsequently developed Bt maize (MON 802, MON 809, MON 863, MON 810), Bt soybean [129] and Bt cotton.
In 2009 the government of Mexico created a regulatory pathway for genetically modified maize, [85] but because Mexico is the center of diversity for maize, gene flow could affect a large fraction of the world's maize strains. [86] [87] A 2001 report in Nature presented evidence that Bt maize was cross-breeding with unmodified maize in Mexico. [88]
Monsanto Co. , in which the court held that an Indiana farmer infringed on the biotech giant's patents when he planted genetically-modified soybean seeds not purchased from the company.
In 2004, Monsanto sought approval in Europe to introduce MON 863. Approval was granted in 2005 for use in feed [5] and in 2006 for use in food. [6] There was controversy over acceptance by regulatory bodies of industry-funded toxicity studies and over the design of those studies led by Pr Gilles-Éric Séralini, who was on the committee that reviewed MON863 for the French government.
These genetically modified plants with Bt protein are grown on a large scale around the world. [2] Monsanto's corn line MON 810 is produced by ballistically transforming another corn line with a plasmid, PV-ZMCT10. [3] This plasmid has a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and hsp70 maize intron sequences which drive the expression of the ...

SmartStax is a brand of genetically modified seed made through a collaboration between Monsanto Company and Dow Chemical Company. [1] It takes advantage of multiple modes of insect protection and herbicide tolerance. SmartStax takes advantage of Yieldgard VT Triple (Monsanto), Herculex Xtra (Dow), RoundUp Ready 2 (Monsanto), and Liberty Link ...
