@JorisSprakel @ScienceAdvances @francine_govers @WUR Awesome discovery! 👍At first glance it seems it would be hard for a plant to build resistance against such a mechanism... shields? 😊

How is the astonishing diversity of plant leaf shape genetically controlled?

@zhongjuan_zhang, Miltos Tsiantis & team have published a highly interdisciplinary study @CurrentBiology which identifies a WOX/auxin module as regulator of leaf growth:

Please RT: A young group of international Master students proposes to update the legal framework for genome editing in crops. They have launched an European Citizen Initiative and need your signature 🇪🇺🌱📝

European scientists speak up for plant breeding innovation! Scientists of > 85 institutes & universities across Europe signed a position paper asking the immediate review of EU legislation of new breeding technologies. #crispr #plantsci #agriculture https://t.co/f8nqRQTICZ

[Dirk Inze @InzeDirk]

The ECJ decision on genome editing is completely denying scientific facts and very sadly deprives Europe of an amazing technology that allows for the development of an environmentally friendly, sustainable agriculture and bio-based economy. Stand up and defend our science!
