The Greenpeace-funded work by the Chhalliyil et al (2020) publication merely confirms this well-established fact. You are welcome to ask questions using the Zoom Q&A feature. APPLICATIONS OPEN! However, the published method has two main limitations: It does not present a means to establish that genome editing is the cause of the detected mutation, since it just displays a sequence modification without identification of the modification process.

We are looking for a motivated core team member to work on Phytoform Labs R&D and genome editing efforts. You will quantify and analyse multiple aspects of crop genetics as well as breed new crops with footprint-free genome editing. EPSO identified the following areas of interest for plant scientists where the first four ones seem of utmost interest. Permanent. It will be held digitally on September 15 from 13:00 to 17:00 CEST. Now it’s critical to invest in frontier research to tackle the huge challenges posed by the current and future crisis.

SusCrop is an ERA-Net Cofund Action under Horizon 2020 on Sustainable Crop Production. It will also offer a networking opportunity with its one-to-one meetings, allowing participants to meet with future project partners from across industry and research. Safety, socio-economic and environmental impact as well as stakeholders’ needs and concerns when implementing such new varieties are also investigated in this project. Both are at the heart of the EU Green Deal for which an EU Green deal call for proposals will be opened by Mid-September 2020.

4 Rue de l’industrie (FR) One cannot tell from the mutation itself whether it was spontaneous or triggered by genome editing, and additional information on the history of the genetic material is needed as a precondition to evaluate from which breeding process it originates.
