EU record number	Company/Institution	Host organism	Project title	Trait
B/BE/25/V1	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with improved yield	Improved yield
B/BE/24/V7	Corteva Agriscience	Maize	Field trial for three CRISPR-Cas9 maize concepts	Modified composition, disease resistance
B/BE/24/V3	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with improved digestibility	The genetically modified maize plants have an altered composition of their cell wall resulting from the presence of mutations in three genes involved in the biosynthesis of lignin.
B/BE/24/V2	VIB	Poplar	Field evaluation of poplars with a modified wood composition	The genetically modified trees have an altered wood composition
B/BE/24/V1	VIB	Poplar	Field evaluation of poplars with a decreased lignin content	Wood with decreased lignin content
B/BE/23/V4	INARI Agriculture N.V.	Maize	R&D Field trial to evaluate the phenotype and yield of maize lines gene edited for optimised plant architecture	The edited maize lines have a shorter stature and larger biomass due to an edit in a transcription factor gene and a transcriptional coactivator gene resulting in an altered expression. Both edits impact together internode elongation and, hence, plant height and biomass quantity.
B/BE/23/V1	INARI Agriculture N.V.	Maize	R&D Field trial to evaluate the phenotype and yield of maize lines gene edited for reduced height	The edited maize lines have a shorter stature due to an edit in a transcription factor gene resulting in an altered expression. This impacts internode elongation and, hence, plant height.
B/BE/22/V3	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics	The genetically modified maize plants have a mutation in the gene coding for a histon linker protein which leads to the inactivation of the gene. As a result, the plants have a significantly better growth during periods of drought.
B/BE/22/V2	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with improved digestibility	The genetically modified maize plants have an altered composition of their cell wall resulting from the introduction of a mutation in the CCR1 and/or CCR3 genes. These mutations lead to the inactivation of these genes. The plants have up to 20% less lignin in their cell walls which is expected to contribute to a better digestibility of the maize thereby improving the feed conversion rate.
B/BE/22/V1	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with increased resistance against DNA damage causing environmental stress	The genetically modified maize plants have a significantly better growth under environmental stress conditions that lead to DNA damage.
B/BE/21/V1	VIB	Poplar	Field evaluation of poplars with a modified wood composition	Altered wood composition (less lignin and more cellulose) resulting from the downregulation of the Caffeoyl Shikimate Esterase (CSE) enzyme through RNAi.
B/BE/20/V1	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics	Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of the AN3 gene under the control of the EF1a promoter. This gene is a transcriptional co-activator that is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. As a result of the modification the duration of growth is elongated which results in the formation of larger plant organs such as larger leaves. It is also results in the formation of more biomass.
B/BE/19/V1	VIB	Maize	Wetenschappelijk veldonderzoek naar maïs als biosensor voor het meten van DNA-schade als gevolg van milieustress	The maize plants have been edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulting in the mutation of either the ATR or ATM gene. There are three events: one event with one additional DNA basepair in the ATR gene, one event with one additional DNA basepair in the ATM gene and one event with a 1272 bp deletion in the ATR gene. The result of these alterations is that these genes are no longer functional. The ATR and ATM genes gene plays a role in the repair of DNA damage and in these plants faults in the DNA are believed to accumulate to a higher degree.
B/BE/18/V8	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with an impaired DNA-repair mechanism and maize with modified growth characteristics	Maize plants edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulting in a single base pair mutation in either the ALT gene (that plays a role in the repair of DNA damage) or the NGAL2 gene (a transcription factor that has been shown to negatively affect the expression of the PLA1 gene coding for a cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase enzyme).
B/BE/17/V3	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics	Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of two genes: (1) the GA20oxidase under the control of a pUBIL promoter and (2) the PLA1 gene (also known as the ‘KLUH’ gene, or CYP78A1 gene) under the control of the GA2oxidase promoter
B/BE/14/V2	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics	Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of the CYP78A1 gene (encoding cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase) under the control of the GA2oxidase promoter
B/BE/13/V1	VIB	Grey poplar	Field evaluation of poplars with a modified wood composition	modified lignin
B/BE/11/V4	VIB	Maize	Scientific field research using maize that has altered growth characteristics	Altered growth characteristics resulting from the introduction of a Ga20Oxidase-1 gene
