Overview
Experimental release of genetically modified maize
University of Zurich
Purpose: Investigation of non-race-specific resistance to various fungal diseases in genetically modified maize in field conditions and possible unexpected effects of the genetic modification on the behaviour of maize in the field.
Experimental release of genetically modified barley
University of Zurich
Purpose: Investigation of non-race-specific resistance to various fungal diseases in genetically modified barley in field conditions and possible unexpected effects of the genetic modification on the behaviour of barley in the field.
Experimental release of genetically modified Pm wheat strains
University of Zurich
Purpose: Basic research into the resistance biology of wheat and the functioning of Pm resistance genes, and investigation of the effects of wheat strains with different Pm3 genes and gene combinations.
Experimental release of genetically modified winter wheat strains
Agroscope Reckenholz
Purpose: Investigation into yield increase in genetically modified winter wheat in field trials, as well as susceptibility to diseases and pests.
Experimental release of cisgenic apple trees
Agroscope Reckenholz
Purpose: Investigation of cisgenic apple trees under field conditions and comparison of morphological and physiological parameters with control plants.
Experimental release of genetically modified potato strains
Agroscope Reckenholz
Purpose: Investigation of the efficacy of various inserted Rpi genes, alone or in combination, against late blight; of the phenotypic properties of the genetically modified potato strains; and of biosafety aspects.
Experimental release of genetically modified Pm3 wheat strains
University of Zurich
Objective: basic research on the biology of wheat resistance and investigation of the effects of “stacked” wheat strains (containing two different Pm3 alleles).
NRP 59 experimental releases of genetically modified wheat
