MON89034 Corn Type Determination and Quantity Analysis

The Monsanto firm was an American agrochemical and agrobiotechnology enterprise. Acquired by Bayer as part of its crop science division. Monsanto company developed a glyphosate-based herbicide in the 1970s and has become a major producer of genetically modified crops.

MON89034-3, developed by the Monsato company, is a genetically modified corn strain and contains certain proteins that provide protection against certain pests.

Corn strain MON89034 is protected against a number of insect larvae, such as European corn borer, Asian corn borer, southwestern corn borer, sugarcane borer, autumn caterpillar and corn earworm. Protection is provided by the expression of two insecticidal proteins in the plant. These proteins are derived from a common soil bacterium. It exerts its effects on the host insect by causing intestinal paralysis, cessation of feeding and the breakdown of midgut cells, which eventually leads to the death of the insect.

In the examination carried out by the Biosafety Board in our country, it was decided that the genetically modified MON89034 corn variety has similar agricultural characteristics and composition with the non-genetically modified commercial corn variety, but it should not be ignored that different environmental conditions may be effective depending on the herbicide application regimes.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, MON89034 corn type determination and quantity analysis services are also available.
