| 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/11/V4 | VIB | Maize | Scientific field research using maize that has altered growth characteristics | Altered growth characteristics resulting from the introduction of a Ga20Oxidase-1 gene |
| 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) |
