The DAS-06275-8 event contains a synthetic truncated cry1F gene optimized for maize expression (mocry1F) which was transformed into maize plants using Agrobacterium transformation. The mocry1F gene encodes a truncated, core insecticidal crystal protein (ICP) that is identical in amino acid sequence to the native Cry1F protein and to the Cry1F protein expressed in Event 1507. Cry1F expression levels are efficacious for control of the lepidopteran pest European corn borer and other pests such as black cutworm (Agrostis ipsilon), fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda.) and southwestern corn borer (Diatraea grandiosella). The DAS-06275-8 event also contains the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase bar gene isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus which is used as a selectable marker and to confer tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium. The BAR protein, expressed from the bar gene, acetylates phosphinothricin conferring tolerance to a chemically synthesized phosphinothricin such as the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium. Glufosinate-ammonium is a broad spectrum, non-systemic, non-selective herbicide.
