2. Description of the traits and characteristics which have
been introduced or modified, including marker genes and previous
modifications:
Modification of flowering earliness.
Transgenic plants contain the bar gene conferring resistance to
glufosinate, most of the transformation events contain the Green
Fluorescent Protein (GFP) as a reporter gene.

Experimental
Release
1. Purpose of the release:
Functional gene validation.
Notations and measures of different physiological parameters
during the vegetative and flowering stages.
Production of plant and grain under agronomic conditions.
Grain and total biomass production evaluation.
2. Geographical location of the site:
Center of France(Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne)
South-west of France(Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées)
West of France(Charente Maritime, Poitou Charente)
3. Size of the site (m2):
1 500 sq mt maximal size for transgenic plants (2006 to 2009,
border rows not included), 3 sites max.
4. Relevant data regarding previous releases carried out with
the same GM-plant, if any, specifically related to the potential
environmental and human health impacts from the release:
First release for these transformation events.
Environmental
Impact and Risk Management
Summary of the potential
environmental impact from the release of the GMPts:
None of the introduced traits has potential effects to modify
the plant persistency in the environment. There is no wild
relatives of corn in Europe and out-crossing are not possible.
In this experiment, there is no modification of the direct or
indirect interactions between the modified plants and target or
non-target organisms. There is no expected effects on human
health and on animal health. Plants will not be used as food.
There is no short-term possible effect on specific cultivation
management and harvesting techniques.Potential environmental
impact considered minimal, given the conditions of the field
trial (location, absence of pollen production or field
isolation, minimal contacts with fauna and flora, absence of
wild relatives of maize species in the release areas...).
Brief description of any measures taken for the management of
risks:
Release sites located in intensive agriculture areas.
Collection of seeds, destruction of plant vegetative material.
Monitoring and destruction of volunteers during one year
following the end of experiment.
Summary of foreseen field trial studies focused to gain new
data on environmental and human health impact from the release:
