Professor @apmweber.bsky.social, our project coordinator from @hhu.de talked about how to improve water use efficiency in maize through genome editing. 🌽

He pointed out that the EU should allow gene editing to make organic farming more sustainable: www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

🎤🧑‍🌾🌾 Benjamin Menn, joint PhD student at the labs of Antonio Molina (CBGP) and Markus Pauly (HHU, @ceplas.bsky.social), also shared his research on sustainable crop protection solutions.🌾
