Chemical weed control agents cause unintended damage or death to non-target crop species. Mitigating this sensitivity prevents yield loss and allows for broader application of potent weed control agents.

Random insertion of genetic constructs often results in poor agronomic performance or unstable expression. Identifying elite events ensures consistent transgene behavior and genomic stability across generations.

Chemical inhibition of the HPPD enzyme leads to bleaching and plant death. Overcoming this sensitivity prevents crop loss during weed control applications.
