EU record number	Company/Institution	Host organism	Project title	Trait
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/18/V8	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with an impaired DNA-repair mechanism and maize with modified growth characteristics	Maize plants edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulting in a single base pair mutation in either the ALT gene (that plays a role in the repair of DNA damage) or the NGAL2 gene (a transcription factor that has been shown to negatively affect the expression of the PLA1 gene coding for a cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase enzyme).
