In a new paper in Nature Communications we explain how plant genetic engineering can help to sustainably address hidden hunger. Biofortification through metabolic engineering can combine multiple nutritional and agronomic traits in the same crops. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Farmers should not have to make difficult choices between crops that either improve nutrition or allow productive and stable harvests. They need both aspects combined, which will also support widespread adoption. Nature Communications rdcu.be/b8yvp

Hoe biotech kan helpen in de strijd tegen verborgen honger. Vincent Verbeecke
Just out in Plant Biotechnology Journal: Simon Strobbe et al., “Metabolic engineering of rice endosperm towards higher vit B1 accumulation”. After years of vit B9 (folate) research, our #UGent consortium has now (also) embarked upon thiamin research – more to come! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… 1/2
Hi folks! Job is finishing his Master´s thesis UGent +University of Arkansas. He is researching the drivers, barriers & prospects for the CRISPR technology among plant scientists in Africa, Europe and North America. If you have 5'⏰PLEASE help him with his survey🙌! ghentagriecon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1M…

Laten we het eens over de voordelen van biotech in de landbouw hebben. Mijn opiniestuk over genoombewerking Knack. Groen, Greenpeace Belgium, @BioForumVL, Rikolto (Vredeseilanden) en BondBeterLeefmilieu, ik ben steeds bereid om van gedachten te wisselen. Laat maar weten. knack.be/nieuws/belgie/…
