(b) Designation and specification of the products (i)foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 maize;
(ii)feed produced from DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 maize.
The genetically modified DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 maize, as described in the application, is resistant to the European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis ) and certain other lepidopteran pests and is tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium. The genetically modified DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 maize contains the following DNA sequences in two cassettes:
— cassette 1 A synthetic version of the truncated cry 1F gene from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai , which confers resistance to the European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis ) and certain other lepidopteran pests, under the regulation of the ubiquitin promoter ubi ZM1(2) from Zea mays L. and the ORF25PolyA terminator from Agrobacterium tumefaciens pTi15955,
— cassette 2 A synthetic version of the pat gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes strain Tü494, which confers tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium, under the regulation of the 35S promoter and terminator sequences from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus .
(c) Labelling No specific requirements other than those provided for in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
For the purpose of Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, the ‘name of organism’ shall be ‘maize’.
(d) Method for detectionEvent specific real-time quantitative PCR based method for genetically modified maize DAS-Ø15Ø7-1.
