This article presents the hazard identification and characterization studies of the insecticidal protein IPD079Ea derived from a fern plant for controlling the maize pest. The results indicate that IPD079Ea is safe for human and animal health, further supporting the safety of genetically modified maize expressing this protein.
As agricultural biotechnology continues to develop solutions for addressing crop pests through newly expressed proteins from novel source organisms, with different modes or sites of action and/or different spectra of activity, the safety of these proteins will be assessed. The results of hazard-identification and characterization studies for the insecticidal protein IPD079Ea, which is derived from a fern (Ophioglossum pendulum) and active against the maize pest western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) are provided. Collectively these results indicate that IPD079Ea is unlikely to present a hazard to human or animal health and support the safety of genetically modified maize expressing IPD079Ea.
