| Designation | The genetically modified MON-87427-7 maize expresses the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tissue-selective tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. The CP4 EPSPS expression is absent or limited in male reproductive tissues, which eliminates or reduces the need for detasseling when MON-87427-7 is used as female parent in hybrid maize seed production. |
