|---|---|---|---|---|
| B/BE/23/V4 | INARI Agriculture N.V. | Maize | R&D Field trial to evaluate the phenotype and yield of maize lines gene edited for optimised plant architecture |
The edited maize lines have a shorter stature and larger biomass due to an edit in a transcription factor gene and a transcriptional coactivator gene resulting in an altered expression. Both edits impact together internode elongation and, hence, plant height and biomass quantity. |
| B/BE/23/V1 | INARI Agriculture N.V. | Maize | R&D Field trial to evaluate the phenotype and yield of maize lines gene edited for reduced height |
The edited maize lines have a shorter stature due to an edit in a transcription factor gene resulting in an altered expression. This impacts internode elongation and, hence, plant height. |
| B/BE/20/V1 | VIB | Maize | Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics |
Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of the AN3 gene under the control of the EF1a promoter. This gene is a transcriptional co-activator that is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. As a result of the modification the duration of growth is elongated which results in the formation of larger plant organs such as larger leaves. It is also results in the formation of more biomass. |
