Maize 87460


Trait: reduced yield loss under waterlimited conditions compared to conventional maize produced by inserting a new gene.
Inserted genes:
cspB-
gene

Source: Bacillus subtilis

Function: expression of the inserted Bacillus subtilis cold shock protein B (CspB). Under water-limited conditions, grain yield loss is reduced compared to conventional maize.

Methods for the genetic modification: Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer.
