PlantEd – COST Action CA18111 – Genome editing in plants

WG2 – Impact Assessment

Working Group 2 will map the current and potential impact on plant research and breeding, in terms of 1) utility of this technology and novel opportunities for discoveries, elucidation of pathways, and global cellular knowledge, 2) utility as a facilitator for trait management in breeding, and 3) identification and evaluation of the data requirements for rigorous socio-economic, environmental and health impacts.
