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).

B/BE/17/V3 VIB Maize Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics

Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of two genes: (1) the GA20oxidase under the control of a pUBIL promoter and (2) the PLA1 gene (also known as the ‘KLUH’ gene, or CYP78A1 gene) under the control of the GA2oxidase promoter
