| 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. |

virus resistance (Lily Symptomless Virus) |
| B/BE/01/V2 | Syngenta Mogen | Potato | Comparison of potatoes genetically modified to express an enhanced resistance to fungal pathogens with existing non-modified varieties, grown under standard agronomic conditions |
fungal disease resistance |
