37 Nobel Laureates & nearly 1,500 Scientists call on MEPs to support New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs).

NGTs give farmers access to new drought-tolerant & nitrogen-efficient crops, helping to produce food more at lower environmental cost.

Even on Fascination of Plants Day (@PlantDay18May) organised by @VIBLifeSciences and @ugent, specifically, @PSB_VIB and @BioenergyVIB with support by @NSFCMN you cannot avoid fascination of people with @nanopore technology and how beautiful these bio-pores are :) #nomnomsequence

[Astrid Gadeyne @AstridGadeyne]

😍 Plants are so grateful for cell biologists. Look at those images generated in the lab of @BioenergyVIB while studying the cell wall
