B/BE/24/V7	Corteva Agriscience	Maize	Field trial for three CRISPR-Cas9 maize concepts	Modified composition, disease resistance
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/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/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).
