Application Summary:
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) received an application from Corteva Agriscience Australia Proprietary Limited to vary Schedule 26 in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code). The variation is to include food from a new genetically modified (GM) corn line DAS1131, with the OECD Unique Identifier DAS-Ø1131-3. This corn line is tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate and protected against lepidopteran insect pests. Protection against lepidopteran insect pests is conferred by the expression of the insecticidal cry1Da2 gene encoding the Cry1Da2 protein. The cry1Da2 gene is composed of two sequences from Bacillus thuringiensis: (1) the insecticidal core toxin sequence of the cry1Da2 gene; and (2) a segment of the cry1Ab gene. Tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate is achieved by the expression of the dgt-28 epsps gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (DGT-28 EPSPS) from Streptomyces sviceus. The DGT-28 EPSPS protein is fused to TraP8, a chimeric chloroplast transit peptide derived from Brassica napus and Brassica rapa, enabling targeting to the chloroplast. Many different Cry and EPSPS proteins are found in a variety of different GM crops grown around the world (FAO 2023; ISAAA 2023). FSANZ has assessed and approved 29 applications where Cry proteins have been introduced into crops for pest protection and 25 applications where EPSPS proteins have been used in crops for herbicide-tolerance. Crop species with Cry and EPSPS proteins that FSANZ has assessed and approved include corn, cotton, potato and soybean. A1280 is the first application to assess the specific Cry and EPSPS proteins, Cry1Da2 and DGT-28 EPSPS. If approved, food derived from DAS1131 corn line may enter the Australian and New Zealand food supply as imported food products.

Application Summary:
Pioneer Hi-Bred Canada Company has developed a genetically modified (GM) maize line (Zea mays L.), DAS1131-3, that exhibits resistance to Lepidopteran maize pests and tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicide. The insect resistance trait was achieved through expression a novel chimeric cry1DA2 gene protein. The tolerance to glyphosate herbicide trait was achieved through expression of a chimeric dgt-28 epsps gene.
