The scientific world was rocked in 2012 by the development of CRISPR gene-editing tools using the DNA-cutting protein Cas9, an advance that received a Nobel Prize in 2020.
Agriculture faces major challenges – reducing yield losses during extended periods of heat and drought, to name one. To sustain food production, we must adapt our crops to rapidly changing climate conditions.
At the cradle of plant biotechnology
The European Sustainable Agriculture Through Genome Editing (EU-SAGE) network released a comprehensive genome-edited crops database based on a peer-reviewed literature study.
Let’s talk about maize
