10th #TransformationThursday Meet Dr. Götz Hensel, Head of the Centre for Plant Genome Engineering at CEPLAS Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf CPGE develops & implements protocols for generating transgenic crop plants (barley, rice, & sunflower), molecular farming (vaccines, antibodies) #CRISPR #NGT🧬🌻🌾

📢📑GeneBEcon has released a policy brief on how #NGT products🌱 should be regulated in the EU🇪🇺, outlining regulatory, technical, social and other relevant aspects pertinent to the ongoing discussions. Read the policy brief➡️genebecon.eu/2024/03/20/how… #EUBioeconomy #plantbreeding

Super proud of this project that started as a bar conversation at a conference 7 years ago. And now, it's in field trials. How cool is that? 🌾 🍚 🧬 😎 🇮🇹

Development of #geneedited Golden Banana has taken 12+ years leading to 5 field-trial sites across 🇮🇳 Dr Siddharth Tiwari Siddharth Tiwari takes us through this outstanding project in the latest @COST_PlantEd webinar -> youtube.com/watch?v=QbE2M5…

Vittoria Brambilla vittoria brambilla led research leading to the first GE rice field trail in 🇮🇹 ......that was latterly destroyed 🧬💥 😢 Vittoria talks us through the entire process in this fascinating @COST_PlantEd webinar! youtube.com/watch?v=WT2JjT…

Scientific and industry leaders are urging Ministers in the new UK Government to act quickly and decisively in bringing forward the secondary legislation needed to implement the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023 in England. scienceforsustainableagriculture.com/ssa-news-24
