Ciba Seeds Files
For r-DNA Corn
GREENSBORO, N.C. Ciba
Seeds (a division of Ciba-Geigy
Corporation) has submitted to the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) an application for
registration of com genetically
engineered for control of insect
pests.
Ciba Seeds becomes the Erst
company to seek full federal
approval of a staple grain crop that
is produced through DNA tech
nology. The only genetically engi
neered crop currently available
commercially is Calgene’s
FLAVR SaVr® tomato which
was only recently approved by the
US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA).
EPA acts as the lead federal
regulatory authority for crops
genetically engineered for protec
tion against pests. Ciba Seeds will
also seek formal clearance from
the US Department of Agriculture
(USDA) as well as file a pre
market notification to the FDA in
compliance with each agency’s
regulations and guidelines.
Ciba Seeds’ insect protected
com produces a protein derived
from the naturally occurring soil
bacterium. Bacillus thuringiensis,
commonly referred to as “Bt,”
which has been widely recognized
for its safe use as a registered bio
logical pesticide since 1961. Com
plants producing the Bt insect
control protein (referred to as “Bt
com”) are protected from insect
pests such as the European com
borer (ECB), a major pest that can
cause significant yield loss and is
both expensive and difficult to
control with conventional
insecticides.
Ciba Seeds’ request for EPA
registration is the result of a step
wise development plan to provide
cost-effective, insect-protected
hybrid com seed that reduces far
mer production risks and costs.

Following extensive greenhouse
evaluations. Ciba Seeds con
ducted small-scale field tests
under permits granted by the
USDA and began larger scale
field trials in 1993 under an EPA
experimental use permit. Ciba
Seeds International has also con
ducted trials in a number of coun
tries throughout the world.
Ciba Seeds’ Bt com provides
unprecedented efficiency in pro
tection of the com plant from the
target pest. Each com plant pro
duces very small quantities of its
own insect control protein, most
of which is localized in com
leaves and pollen where it is
needed for control of ECB. Other
plant parts, including kernels,
have only trace amounts of the
insect control protein. As a result,
this unique method of pest control
may significantly reduce the use
of insecticides to control the target
pest. In Ciba Seeds’ field trials, Bt
com plants achieved higher yields
due to control of low-level pest
infestations that would be uneco
nomical to control through con
ventional means.
The European com borer can
cause yield losses of up to 30-per
cent with average losses of 8-per
cent being reported in a recent
survey of farmers in lowa and
Minnesota. A yield loss of 8-per
cent on lowa’s 12 million acres of
com alone would mean a potential
loss of nearly $3OO million per
year. In limited field trials con
ducted in 1992 and 1993, Ciba
Seeds’ Bt com achieved an aver
age yield gain of 3S-percent under
conditions of heavy infestation as
compared to com lines lacking the
Bt gene. Bt com has the potential
to replace about 3.1 million
application-acre treatments of
conventional insecticides in the
US each year with resulting bene
fits to farmers and consumers.
