EU record number	Company/Institution	Host organism	Project title	Trait
B/BE/23/V4	INARI Agriculture N.V.	Maize	R&D Field trial to evaluate the phenotype and yield of maize lines gene edited for optimised plant architecture	The edited maize lines have a shorter stature and larger biomass due to an edit in a transcription factor gene and a transcriptional coactivator gene resulting in an altered expression. Both edits impact together internode elongation and, hence, plant height and biomass quantity.
B/BE/23/V1	INARI Agriculture N.V.	Maize	R&D Field trial to evaluate the phenotype and yield of maize lines gene edited for reduced height	The edited maize lines have a shorter stature due to an edit in a transcription factor gene resulting in an altered expression. This impacts internode elongation and, hence, plant height.
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).
B/BE/95/VSP9	AgrEvo	Maize	Zea mays; the use of glufosinate-ammonium against typical weed species under Belgian agricultural practices using a glufosinate-ammonium tolerant crop	herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/95/WSP5	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/95/VSP6	Plant Genetic Systems	Oilseed rape	Selection program of parental male sterile and restorer lines obtained through genetic engineering in order to produce oilseed rape hybrids.	male sterility, fertility restorer, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/95/WSP4	Monsanto	Sugar beet	Multi-year field trial programme for the development of cultivated Beta vulgaris containing the Roundup Ready genes (glyphosate tolerance)	herbicide tolerance (glyphosate)
