Abstract

The invention provides specific transgenic soybean plants, plant material and seeds, characterized in that these products harbor a stack of specific transformation events at specific locations in the soybean genome (elite event EE-GM3 and elite event EE-GM2, or elite event EE-GM3 and elite event EE-GM1). The invention also provides for methods of producing soybean plants and seeds having elite event EE-GM3 and elite event EE-GM2, or elite event EE-GM3 and elite event EE-GM1.
