GM Crops Food. 2016 Apr 2;7(2):79-83. doi: 10.1080/21645698.2016.1184815. Epub 2016 Jun 1.

Abstract

Soybean event DAS-444Ø6-6 is tolerant to the herbicides 2,4-D, glyphosate, and glufosinate. An investigation of potential unintended adverse compositional changes in a genetically modified crop is required to meet government regulatory requirements in various geographies. A study to meet these requirements in Brazil was completed demonstrating compositional equivalency between DAS-444Ø6-6 and non-transgenic soybean. This study supplements the extensive literature supporting transgenesis as less disruptive of crop composition compared with traditional breeding methods.

Keywords: 2,4-D; crop composition; glufosinate; glyphosate; soybean (Glycine max); transgenic.
