EU record number	Company/Institution	Host organism	Project title	Trait
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/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/21/V1	VIB	Poplar	Field evaluation of poplars with a modified wood composition	Altered wood composition (less lignin and more cellulose) resulting from the downregulation of the Caffeoyl Shikimate Esterase (CSE) enzyme through RNAi.
