B/BE/22/V3 VIB Maize Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics The genetically modified maize plants have a mutation in the gene coding for a histon linker protein which leads to the inactivation of the gene. As a result, the plants have a significantly better growth during periods of drought.
B/BE/22/V1 VIB Maize Scientific field evaluation of maize with increased resistance against DNA damage causing environmental stress The genetically modified maize plants have a significantly better growth under environmental stress conditions that lead to DNA damage.
B/BE/18/V8 VIB Maize Scientific field evaluation of maize with an impaired DNA-repair mechanism and maize with modified growth characteristics Maize plants edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulting in a single base pair mutation in either the ALT gene (that plays a role in the repair of DNA damage) or the NGAL2 gene (a transcription factor that has been shown to negatively affect the expression of the PLA1 gene coding for a cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase enzyme).
