Soybean event MON 94313 has been genetically modified to express enzyme dicamba mono-oxygenase (DMO) which confers tolerance to dicamba herbicide, enzyme phosphinothricin N-acetyl transferase (PAT) which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicide, enzyme FOPs and 2, 4-D dioxygenase (FT_T1) which confers tolerance to quizalofop and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide, and enzyme triketone dioxygenase (TDO) which confers tolerance to mesotrione herbicide.
The food safety assessment performed by the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) as advisory and technical arm of Thai FDA. BIOTEC conduct food safety assessment according to codex guideline and based on the safety data and information provided by the applicant (as specified in Annex 2 attached to Notification of the Ministry of Public Health No.431). According to the existing scientific data and information available during the safety assessment, it is concluded that the soybean event MON 94313 is substantially equivalent to its conventional counterpart in terms of morphology, nutrition, toxicity and allergenicity.
