Nice podcast for youngsters and not-so-youngsters showing the importance of conservation of crop genetic resources for next generations and how this is done.
We are thrilled to share our brandnew article on the principles, applications, and challenges of plant cryopreservation.
Enjoy the recent article in Annual Review on Plant Biology https://t.co/ND28CaqYeK
It was a pleasure to meet last week with @BelgiumDGD to discuss the outstanding support we are receiving from Belgium. We’re grateful for their commitment to our cause. 🇧🇪 @BelgiumMFA
🌍🍌 Exciting developments in banana research and #agriculturalinnovation! We were honored to host Sebastien Carpentier - Global Lead of our Banana Program - in our office in #Uganda.
