| 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/22/V3 | VIB | Maize | Scientific field evaluation of maize with modified growth characteristics |
The genetically modified maize plants have a mutation in the gene coding for a histon linker protein which leads to the inactivation of the gene. As a result, the plants have a significantly better growth during periods of drought. |
| B/BE/22/V2 | 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 introduction of a mutation in the CCR1 and/or CCR3 genes. These mutations lead to the inactivation of these genes. The plants have up to 20% less lignin in their cell walls which is expected to contribute to a better digestibility of the maize thereby improving the feed conversion rate. |
| B/BE/22/V1 | VIB | Maize | Scientific field evaluation of maize with increased resistance against DNA damage causing environmental stress |
The genetically modified maize plants have a significantly better growth under environmental stress conditions that lead to DNA damage. |
| 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 |
