USDA deregulates Monsanto’s soybean MON 87751
Oct. 20, 2014
Related News
The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has announced an extension of nonregulated status for Monsanto’s soybean variety MON 87751, which has been genetically engineered (GE) for resistance to lepidopteran insects. The effective date is October 17, 2014.
MON 87751 has been engineered to express two Bacillus thuringiensis proteins (Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2). APHIS evaluated the plant pest risk of MON 87751 based upon its similarity to the previously deregulated antecedent soybean, MON 87701, which expresses the Bt protein Cry1Ac. Both MON87751 and MON87701 are resistant to the velvetbean caterpillar, soybean looper, soybean axil borer, and sunflower looper, but MON 87751 also includes resistance to fall armyworm.
