Dow AgroSciences LLC researchers, led by Rod A. Herman, evaluated the impact
of crossing (stacking)

biochemical composition and compared it with the impact caused by generating
non-GM hybrids.

The compositional similarity of seven GM stacks containing event DAS-?15?7-1
was compared to their corresponding non-GM near-isogenic hybrids
(iso-hybrids) and to currently grown non-GM hybrids and their iso-hybrids.
Scatter plots were used to visualize comparisons among hybrids.

The composition of GM breeding stacks was found to be more similar to the
composition of their iso-hybrids than to the composition of non-GM hybrids
to their iso-hybrids. Hence, non-GM breeding is more capable of influenced
crop composition than transgenesis or stacking of

These findings can be grounds to call into question the importance of
requiring composition studies for

of GM events previously found to be compositionally similar to iso-hybrids.
