| Designation | Genetically modified MON-877Ø5-6 soybean has a reduced expression of fatty acid Δ12-desaturase (FAD2) and palmitoyl acyl carrier protein thioesterase (FATB) enzymes, which results in increased oleic acid and reduced linoleic acid profile and expresses a CP4 EPSPS protein, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides. |
