Available data show that corn hybrids expressing Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins have reduced vulnerability to mycotoxin-producing fungi, thereby enhancing the safety of the grain for livestock feed and for human food (Munkvold and Hellmich, 1999). Since HERCULEX® I Insect Protection contains the Cry1F protein, hybrids containing the trait may potentially be at less risk from mycotoxin-producing fungi.
