Scientific Opinion on application (EFSA‐GMO‐UK‐2009‐76) for the placing on the market of soybean MON 87769 genetically modified to contain stearidonic acid, for food and feed uses, import and processing under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 from Monsanto

Abstract: Soybean MON 87769 was developed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation and was intended to modify the lipid profile of the extracted oil. Soybean MON 87769 contains a single insert consisting of the Pj.D6D gene encoding the Δ6 desaturase protein from Primula juliae and the Nc.Fad3 gene encoding the Δ15 desaturase protein from Neurospora crassa, both involved in the desaturation of endogenous fatty acids into stearidonic acid. The molecular characterisation of soybean MON 87769 does not raise safety iss… Show more

“…The similarity to allergens search used a criterion of 35 % identity to the amino acid sequence of known allergens in a window of 80 amino acids. No matches of eight contiguous identical amino acid sequences between these proteins and known allergens were found, with the exception of one match of eight contiguous serine residues (SSSSSSSS) which was already assessed by the EFSA GMO Panel (see Section 5.1.4.1 of EFSA GMO Panel, 2014).…”
