This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop a non-transgenic approach for genetic improvement of crops by using a zinc-finger nuclease strategy for homologous recombination in plants and a strategy for selection of non-selectable phenotypes. The commercial application of this project will be to enable the production of new crop varieties, including those that better withstand pests, have enhanced food value, and produce compounds of industrial importance. The proposed approach is expected to produce genetically modified (GM) plants requiring less regulatory oversight than existing technologies for plant genetic engineering, facilitating faster and less expensive marketing of GM plants.

这个小型企业创新研究第二阶段项目将开发一种非转基因方法，通过在植物中进行同源重组的锌指核酸酶策略和选择不可选择的表型的策略来改进作物的遗传。该项目的商业应用将能够生产新的作物品种，包括那些更好地抵御虫害、提高食品价值和生产具有工业重要性的化合物的品种。与现有的植物基因工程技术相比，拟议的方法预计将生产需要较少监管的转基因(GM)植物，促进转基因植物更快、更便宜的营销。
