Abstract

Transgenic INIR12 maize plants comprising a vip3Aa19 or vip3Aa20 expression cassette linked to a secondary nopaline synthase terminator element which lack a selectable marker gene and/or which comprise modifications that provide for facile excision of the INIR12 transgenic locus from the maize plant genome are provided. Genomic DNA of INIR12 transgenic plants, detection of INIR12 plants and products thereof, methods of making INIR12 plants, and use of INIR12 plants to facilitate breeding are disclosed.
