EU record number	Company/Institution	Host organism	Project title	Trait
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/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).
