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/20/V1	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics	Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of the AN3 gene under the control of the EF1a promoter. This gene is a transcriptional co-activator that is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. As a result of the modification the duration of growth is elongated which results in the formation of larger plant organs such as larger leaves. It is also results in the formation of more biomass.

B/BE/02/V5	Aventis CropScience	Maize	Evaluation of new insect tolerant corn lines	insect resistance (European corn borer), herbicide tolerance (glufosinate/glyphosate)
B/BE/02/WSP6	Warcoing-Chicoline	Chicory	Selection program of glufosinate tolerant chicory lines and families in view of the production of new synthetic varieties and tolerant hybrids	herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/02/V3	Advanta/SES Europe	Sugar beet	Validation of a concept of long-term resistance to the rhizomania virus (beet necrotic yellow vein virus, BNYVV): field experimentation of sugar beet genetically modified to be resistant to rhizomania.	virus resistance (rhizomania virus: beet necrotic yellow vein virus, BNYVV), herbicide tolerance (glufosinate and bialaphos)
B/BE/99/VWSP6	Novartis Seeds	Fodder beet	Experimental programme for the development of fodder beet tolerant to glyphosate (A5/15), 1999-2001	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)
B/BE/99/VW2	Plant Genetic Systems	Oilseed rape	Field evaluation of genetically modified, fungal disease resistant oilseed rape	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)
