GE'd rice lines showed no performance defects in multi-location field trials across different seasons.
Evaluation of agronomic performance included checks for foreign DNA and transgenes in rice varieties IR64 and Komboka.
Comprehensive analyses utilized techniques like whole genome sequencing and PCR to ensure the absence of transgenic material.
Results support that selected GE'd rice lines meet safety guidelines similar to those for classical breeding in regions like India and Kenya.
