<p style="text-align: justify;">Maize line MON 810 was produced by biolistic transformation of maize genotype Hi-II with a mixture of plasmid DNAs, PV-ZMBK07 and PV-ZMGT10. The PV-ZMBK07 plasmid contained the <i>cry1Ab</i> gene and PV-ZMGT10 plasmid contained the CP4 EPSPS and <i>gox</i> genes. Both plasmids contained the <i>nptII</i> gene under the control of a bacterial promoter required for selection of bacteria containing either plasmid, and an origin of replication from a pUC plasmid (ori-pUC) required for replication of the plasmids in bacteria.</p>
