Transcriptome and nutritional composition analysis of stacked transgenic maize with insect resistance and herbicide tolerance.

ABSTRACT: The safety assessment of stacked transgenic crops is essential for their commercial cultivation. A crucial element of safety assessment is the nutritional evaluation of transgenic crops. Currently, profiling methods like transcriptome are employed as supplemental analytical tools to find the unintended effects of transgenic crops. In this study, stacked transgenic maize ZDRF8×nCX-1 was produced by crossing of two transgenic maize events ZDRF8 and nCX-1. This stacked transgenic maize expresses five genes: cry1Ab, cry2Ab and g10evo-epsps (from ZDRF8), as well as cp4 epsps and P450-N-Z1 (from nCX-1). Molecular analysis showed that the insertion sites of target genes were not changed during stack breeding, and the target genes are effectively expressed at bot
