Interestingly, the interaction between host plants and parasitic weeds resembles an “arms race”, with each party evolving novel strategies to fight the other, resulting in intricate co-evolutionary relationships.

Silence has a cost. When scientists stay quiet in the face of anti-science politics, misinformation wins. Evidence gets ignored. Public health suffers. Freedom erodes. Science needs defenders - not just in labs, but in public. Please speak up.

New Perspective: "Virus-induced gene editing free from tissue culture" rdcu.be/etNik Recent work has brought virus-induced editing closer to achieving its promise to simplify plant gene editing by weaning it from its dependence on tissue-culture-based transformation.

Genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9) offers a precise way to modify plant genomes. It allows for targeted changes to DNA sequences, enabling breeders to introduce beneficial traits like disease resistance, stress tolerance, enhanced nutritional value, and increased yield.

I introduced this pepper plant (seeds) into this pot containing Snake Plant and Zz Plant. Does it qualify as an ecosystem? Maybe.

Here, through the Africa Science Dialogue Podcast courtesy of ISAAA_AfriCenter I delve into the problematic Striga weed that devastates farmers' fields and has a negative impact on food security. Also, I call upon young scientists to keep on keeping on! youtube.com/live/Kktq-xuWK…
