  • Publication number: 20260117248
    Abstract: A novel transgenic corn elite event designated MZIR098 is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site that resulted in elite event MZIR098. The invention further relates to assays for detecting the presence of the DNA sequences of corn elite event MZIR098, to corn plants and corn seeds comprising the genotype thereof, and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the elite event MZIR098 genotype with itself or another corn variety.
