PlantEd is organising an online lecture series on genome editing in plants, with many high-profile speakers. The series, which is organised by PlantEd WG1 leaders Dr Goetz Hensel (henselg@hhu.de) and Dr Katrijn Van Laere (katrijn.vanlaere@ilvo.vlaanderen.be) will continue regularly until the end of 2022 and be organised via Zoom. A separate announcement will be sent out to the PlantEd network before each event, and also updated here on the website and posted on the PlantEd Twitter account (@COST_PlantEd).
Upcoming webinar:
November 30, 2022 – 4 PM CEST
Prof. Neal Stewart, Centre of Agricultural Synthetic Biology, University of Tennessee, USA. Title: Engineering and editing of the plastid genome using the mini-synplastome.
Dr. Sadiye Hayta, John Innes Centre, UK. Title: Deploying morphological genes for extending gene editing in cereal crops.
