|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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/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 |
