| EU record number | Company/Institution | Host organism | Project title | Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B/BE/21/V1 | VIB | Poplar | Field evaluation of poplars with a modified wood composition |
Altered wood composition (less lignin and more cellulose) resulting from the downregulation of the Caffeoyl Shikimate Esterase (CSE) enzyme through RNAi. |
| B/BE/17/V3 | VIB | Maize | Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics |
Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of two genes: (1) the GA20oxidase under the control of a pUBIL promoter and (2) the PLA1 gene (also known as the ‘KLUH’ gene, or CYP78A1 gene) under the control of the GA2oxidase promoter |
| B/BE/02/V1 | Plant Research International | Apple tree | Testing of genetically modified apple trees with enhanced resistance to fungi |
fungal disease resistance (scab, mildew, fruit tree canker) |
| B/BE/02/VW4 | Aventis CropScience | Oilseed rape | Field evaluation with genetically modified pod shatter resistant oilseed rape |
pod shatter resistance, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate) |

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) |
