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/19/V1	VIB	Maize	Wetenschappelijk veldonderzoek naar maïs als biosensor voor het meten van DNA-schade als gevolg van milieustress	The maize plants have been edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulting in the mutation of either the ATR or ATM gene. There are three events: one event with one additional DNA basepair in the ATR gene, one event with one additional DNA basepair in the ATM gene and one event with a 1272 bp deletion in the ATR gene. The result of these alterations is that these genes are no longer functional. The ATR and ATM genes gene plays a role in the repair of DNA damage and in these plants faults in the DNA are believed to accumulate to a higher degree.
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)
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)
