Scientific assessment of the 2024 post-market environmental monitoring report on the cultivation of genetically modified maize MON 810 in the EU. [PDF]
Abstract At the request of the European Commission, EFSA assessed the 2024 post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of genetically modified maize MON 810, which expresses the Cry1Ab protein. Using a weight‐of‐evidence approach and considering information provided by the consent holder and the Competent Authorities of ...

First detection of a Sesamia nonagrioides resistance allele to Bt maize in Europe. [PDF]
AbstractThe Ebro Valley (Spain) is the only hotspot area in Europe where resistance evolution of target pests to Cry1Ab protein is most likely, owing to the high and regular adoption of Bt maize (>60%). The high-dose/refuge (HDR) strategy was implemented to delay resistance evolution, and to be effective it requires the frequency of resistance ...

Multiplex PCR-based identification of two sympatric stem borer species, Sesamia cretica and Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). [PDF]
Abstract Stem borers of the genus Sesamia are major pests of cereals in tropical regions. In Iran, Sesamia cretica and Sesamia nonagrioides significantly affect maize and sugarcane, but distinguishing them at the larval stage is difficult due to morphological similarity.

Comparative analysis of hemolymph proteome maps in diapausing and non-diapausing larvae of Sesamia nonagrioides. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundSesamia nonagrioidesis a noctuid that feeds on maize, sugar cane and sorghum in North Africa and Southern Europe. Larvae reared under long day conditions pupate after 5 or 6 larval instars, whereas larvae reared under short day conditions enter diapause and undergo up to 12 molts before dying or pupating.

Assessment of the 2023 post-market environmental monitoring report on the cultivation of genetically modified maize MON 810 in the EU. [PDF]
Abstract At the request of the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessed the 2023 post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of the genetically modified maize event MON 810, which expresses the Cry1Ab protein. The report provides no evidence of adverse effects from maize MON 810 cultivation.
