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/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/99/VW4	Plant Genetic Systems	Oilseed rape	Field evaluation of dwarf phenotypes in oilseed rape	dwarf phenotype, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/99/VW2	Plant Genetic Systems	Oilseed rape	Field evaluation of genetically modified, fungal disease resistant oilseed rape	fungal disease resistance, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/99/VW1	Plant Genetic Systems	Oilseed rape	Field evaluation of glucosinolate reduction in oilseed rape	lowered glucosinolate content, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
B/BE/99/VW3	Plant Genetic Systems	Oilseed rape	Field evaluation with genetically modified pod shatter resistant oilseed rape	pod shatter resistance, herbicide tolerance (glufosinate)
