| 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/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). |
