Genetically modified (GM) crops tolerant to glyphosate have delivered significant economic benefits in farm management. However, the evolution of glyphosate resistance in weeds due to prolonged intensive use of glyphosate poses a serious threat to this weed management system. It is highly desirable in China to deploy dual herbicide-tolerant corn at the very beginning of GM corn release to delay the development of weed resistance to herbicides. Here, we report the creation and characterization of a herbicide-tolerant corn event SCB-29 that expresses both cp4 epsps and bar genes. This transgenic maize is tolerant to glyphosate up to 3600 g a.e. ha⁻¹ and glufosinate up to 3600 g a.i. ha⁻¹, which are quadruple the recommended rates for the two herbicides, respectively. SCB-29 is an event with only a single copy of T-DNA inserted into chromosome 10 of the maize genome. An event-specific PCR detection method was established and three generations of SCB-29 were detected by event-specific PCR suggesting that the transgenes are stably integrated into the maize genome. Analysis of the expression levels of the transgenes among plants of multiple generations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays suggested that the expressions are stable over different generations. Moreover, the major agronomic performances of SCB-29 appear to be similar to those of non-transgenic maize, suggesting that SCB-29 is not likely to have yield drag. Therefore, SCB-29 is an excellent herbicide-tolerant candidate to be developed into a commercial herbicide tolerance transgenic event.
