| 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/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/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 |
