At the Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society (SPPS) Conference 2024, I heard that much of the support for #GenomeEditing in Sweden started after the publication of an educational book on genetically modified plants.

I use a syringe to inject liquid containing an enzyme that damages the plant cell wall into young tobacco plants. You see the liquid as dark spots. This is Nicotiana benthamiana (the wild relative of N. tabacum, the more famous tobacco plant). Excited to see how the plants react to the treatment 😁😁😁

This is me in the room where we work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). To keep the GMO plants confined our special secured rooms, I am changing from my normal lab wear into a red lab coat, wear shoe covers and wear a hair net to not carry seeds or pollen outside on my clothes.
