Why is flooding harmful for plants?
Today, we listened to an amazing talk by prof. @R_Sasidharan from @UniUtrecht, explaining how an intricate spatio-temporal system coordinated by ethylene and ROS helps plants to cope with flooding stress.

Do you know that cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and kale are, in fact, the same species? Wonder what driver morphotype diversification between them? Check publication @NatureGenet from scientists at CAAS and @GuusjeBonnema @WUR

Science wins!

MEPs vote in favour of supporting greater use of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) in the EU.

This is a huge step toward more sustainable agriculture.

Thank you to everyone who has taken action toward this outcome. 💚🎉

[WePlanet @weplanetint]

🚨BREAKING: Over 1,000 scientists in 14 countries hold historic demonstrations in support of gene editing.

The scientists are urging MEPs to back New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) ahead of a crunch vote in the EU parliament tomorrow.

Please like and share if you believe in science!
