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/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
