Genetically Modified Corn
With more than 30 different GMO events, corn belongs to the most important genetically modified crops. While 10 genetically modified corn events gained food and/or feed approval in the EU, significantly more GM-corn events are approved for commercial planting in the USA.
The asynchronous approval situation of GM corn events in different countries requires the exclusion of non-approved GMOs for the market of destination. Especially for corn an intelligent testing strategy combining screening (CornScreen or CornScreenPlus), with specific methods (GMOIdent) is ensures both, reliability and cost-efficiency.
To date the following GMO Corn events may be of importance:
