Participating in the African Plant Genomics Symposium. “Africa needs a critical mass of people and organizations involved in plant genomics to generate new knowledge using genomics & to drive a unified agenda for development continentally & globally." #AfricanPlantGenomics

Interesting talk by Detlef Weigel from the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen on importance of plant genomes during the African Plant Genomics Symposium. “Nothing in genomes makes sense except in the light of the real world.” #AfricanPlantGenomics

Fantastic presentation on Diversification of Alpine Flora by @paulSamuel at the inaugural African Plant Genomics Symposium at USIU-Africa. Patience Chatukuta @drpchronicles.bsky.social #plantgenomicsafrica #africanplantgenomics

Now you "KNOW..." #plantgenomicsafrica #africanplantgenomics

Dr. Pablo Manavella delivered a rigorous elucidation of miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) in connection with plant phenotypic traits and how RNA directed-DNA methylation is involved in gene silencing. #africanplantgenomics #plantgenomicsafrica

Panel discussion: Positioning Africa for leadership on genomics of African plants. Steven Runo (second from left) and Prof Anne Muigai (first from right) taking part in discussion. #AfricanPlantGenomics

It was an exciting two days of talks, discussion and networking at the #africanplantgenomics symposium. Really inspiring to see Detlef Weigel, a global leader in plant research take interest in developing African plant genomics
