Ee-gm5 transgenic locus integration: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Unpredictable transgene integration leads to variable crop performance and regulatory failure. Precise selection and diagnostic tracking of elite events ensure consistent agronomic traits and legal compliance.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Ee-gm5 transgenic locus integration?

Crop phytotoxicity from herbicides

(13)evidences

Commercial crops suffer from phytotoxicity and yield loss when exposed to non-selective chemical weed control agents. Mitigating this vulnerability allows for broader application of effective herbicides without damaging the primary crop.

Unpredictable transgene insertion effects

(8)evidences

Random integration of genetic constructs often leads to unstable expression or disrupted plant fitness. Identifying elite events ensures consistent performance and regulatory compliance across generations.

Photosynthetic thermal instability

(7)evidences

Chemical weed control causes unintended phytotoxicity and growth inhibition in non-target agricultural crops. Eliminating this vulnerability prevents yield loss and allows for broader application of weed management strategies.

Herbicide induced phytotoxicity

(6)evidences

Commercial crops lack innate resistance to broad-spectrum HPPD-inhibiting herbicides. Overcoming this vulnerability prevents crop death during weed control applications.
