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/10/V1 | University of Ghent | Potato | Two year field trial with genetically modified potatoes that are less susceptible to late blight |
Decreased susceptibility to late blight |
B/BE/10/V2 | BASF Plant Science | Potato | Application for the release into the environment of potato lines with improved resistance to Phytophtora infestans, 2011 and 2012 |
Improved resistance to Phytophtora infestans |
