EU record number | Company/Institution | Host organism | Project title | Trait |
---|---|---|---|---|
B/BE/24/V7 | Corteva Agriscience | Maize | Field trial for three CRISPR-Cas9 maize concepts |
Modified composition, disease resistance |
B/BE/24/V3 | VIB | Maize | Scientific field evaluation of maize with improved digestibility |
The genetically modified maize plants have an altered composition of their cell wall resulting from the presence of mutations in three genes involved in the biosynthesis of lignin. |
B/BE/24/V2 | VIB | Poplar | Field evaluation of poplars with a modified wood composition |
The genetically modified trees have an altered wood composition |
B/BE/24/V1 | VIB | Poplar | Field evaluation of poplars with a decreased lignin content |
Wood with decreased lignin content |
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/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) |
