Reporting from the 1st PlantEd conference
PlantEd successfully organised its first conference in Serbia 5-7 November – here you can read about it. At the end of the page, you will find the Book of abstracts and several of the speakers´ presentations.
This COST Action will bring together expertise from a range of disciplines to evaluate plant genome editing techniques and their resulting products from various perspectives. The findings will serve to design a roadmap for directing and facilitating applications of genome editing in plant research and breeding, which in turn will help setting R&D priorities and stimulating further cross-national and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
