| 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/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/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 |
