Bayer CropScience LP has developed short stature MON 94804 by Agrobacterium tumefaciens- mediated transformation using the transformation vector PV-ZMAP527892. This vector contains a single T-DNA that contains a suppression cassette expressing an inverted repeat sequence designed to target endogenous corn gibberellic acid 20 oxidase (GA200x) genes, ZmGA200x3 and ZmGA200x5. The expressed inverted repeat transcript is recognized by the endogenous RNA interference (RNAi) machinery, resulting in down-regulation of the targeted GA20ox gene expression. This suppression results in the reduction of gibberellic acid/gibberellin (GA) levels in the stalk, leading to a reduction of internode length and consequently reduced overall plant height compared to the conventional control corn.
