EU record number	Company/Institution	Host organism	Project title	Trait
B/BE/20/V1	VIB	Maize	Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics	Modified growth characteristics resulting from the additional expression of the AN3 gene under the control of the EF1a promoter. This gene is a transcriptional co-activator that is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. As a result of the modification the duration of growth is elongated which results in the formation of larger plant organs such as larger leaves. It is also results in the formation of more biomass.
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)
B/BE/97/VWSP1	Novartis Seeds	Sugar beet	Multi-year field trial programme for the development of cultivated Beta vulgaris containing the Roundup Ready genes (glyphosate tolerance)	herbicide tolerance (glyphosate)
