| EU record number | Company / Institution | Host organism | Project title | Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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/13/V1 | VIB | Grey poplar | Field evaluation of poplars with a modified wood composition | modified lignin |
| B/BE/11/V4 | VIB | Maize | Scientific field research using maize that has altered growth characteristics | Altered growth characteristics resulting from the introduction of a Ga20Oxidase-1 gene |
