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/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/01/V3	Aventis CropScience	Indian Mustard	Field evaluation of Brassica juncea hybrids and parental lines	herbicide tolerance (glufosinate), male sterility, fertility restorer
B/BE/01/V5	Aventis CropScience	Oilseed rape	Field evaluation with genetically modified pod shatter resistant oilseed rape	pod shatter resistance, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/01/V4	Aventis CropScience	Maize	Evaluation of new insect tolerant corn lines	insect resistance (European corn borer), herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/01/V1	Laboratorium voor Bloembollenonderzoek	Lily	Field trial on a limited scale to study under field conditions the expression of virus resistance against the Lily Symptomless Virus (LSV) in genetically modified virus resistant lilies	virus resistance (Lily Symptomless Virus)
B/BE/01/V2	Syngenta Mogen	Potato	Comparison of potatoes genetically modified to express an enhanced resistance to fungal pathogens with existing non-modified varieties, grown under standard agronomic conditions	fungal disease resistance
