| EU record number | Company/Institution | Host organism | Project title | Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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/03/V1 | Fruitteeltcentrum (KULeuven) | Apple tree | A field assessment of the introduction of the self-compatibility trait in transgenic "Elstar" trees; Flower bud formation, fruit set, yields, production efficiency and fruit quality |
self-fertility |

herbicide tolerance (glyphosate) |
| B/BE/99/VW5 | Plant Genetic Systems | Oilseed rape | Field evaluation of transgenic oilseed rape with controlled cell division |
controlled cell division, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate) |
| B/BE/99/V7 | Plant Genetic Systems | Maize | Evaluation of new insect tolerant corn lines |
insect resistance (European corn borer), herbicide tolerance (glufosinate) |
| B/BE/99/VW4 | Plant Genetic Systems | Oilseed rape | Field evaluation of dwarf phenotypes in oilseed rape |
dwarf phenotype, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate) |

fungal disease resistance, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate) |
| B/BE/99/VW1 | Plant Genetic Systems | Oilseed rape | Field evaluation of glucosinolate reduction in oilseed rape |
lowered glucosinolate content, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate) |
| B/BE/99/VW3 | Plant Genetic Systems | Oilseed rape | Field evaluation with genetically modified pod shatter resistant oilseed rape |
pod shatter resistance, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate) |
