Did you know that there are already more than 500 different genome-editing applications in crops published in peer-reviewed research studies? @eu_sage has just released an interactive genome-edited crops database bit.ly/3zaQORB

70k responses on the public consultation for the legal initiative on genome-edited plants @Food_EU. This blog bit.ly/3B4YCBC @schillipaeppa clarifies the issues that resulted in so many copy-pasted answers. This is misleading plagiarism!

"CRISPR will have a critical role in addressing the climate change. I personally believe that the potential impact of CRISPR on agriculture will affect many more people in a short time frame compared to the medicine field" @doudna_lab @ReImagineEuropa
The @ReImagineEuropa-led Task Force on #SustainableAgriculture and #Innovation presented their two latest reports 📕📙 on technological innovation & policy options for #EUagriculture at the virtual meeting 'Beyond the apple of discord' 🍎 Read more ➡ allea.org/task-force-on-sust…

Replying to @mark_lynas
@mark_lynas presentation on climate emergency is an eye opener on how our planet🌍will change due to 1°C-6°C increase in temperature🔥🌪️Genome editing is one of the tools that can help adapting to climate change! #PlantResearch21

Genome editing can contribute to adaptation and mitigation of #climatechange We need to combine all possible tools to face the current environmental challenges #PlantResearch21
Looking forward to #PlantResearch21 starting in few minutes! 2 days dedicated to #PlantScience #droughttolerance, #Salinity, #Floodingtolerance, #carboncapturing plants. We need genome editing both for adaptation and mitigation of #climatechange eu-sage.eu/news/plant-scienc…
