EU record number	Company/Institution	Host organism	Project title	Trait
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/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/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
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)
