| 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). |
